You've really only argued one main point through this entire thread rk. Over and over again you've said that you want documented proof that a certain percentage of the money that a church receives goes to basic charity acts which contain absolutely no religious overtones.
I have no problem with you saying this, but unless you address the fact that there are other organizations that are not this rigorous with their paperwork yet are still considered tax exempt you are beating a dead horse. Condemn all, or condemn none.

Although it didn't come up directly I'm sure you would argue that saying a prayer before serving a free meal at a soup kitchen is subversive, with the final intent being to recruit new parishioners rather then providing the hungry with a much needed service.
