Ending God's Tax Exempt Status

Honestly, I would have thought you'd be all over the religion-as-entertainment analogy, rkz.

I am... but with one difference entertainment does not state that it is true, lying to the public to give them false hope to steal money from them based on false promises.
The enhancement that art gives is tangible and clearly stated, no inflated with lies and false claims of mystical properties "this painting will heal your child's cancer if you believe enough and give enough to the galleries fund", ever heard that? I think not.
There is NOTHING educational about religion.
Again, I think the status of art as non-profit is an excellent conversation for another thread.

How do you know for a fact that it is a lie? And just for clarification purposes on my first post, I was referring to paying the "church" bills, not the ministers. Most ministers of small churches, may not get paid at all. So they have another job. (just wanted to make sure you knew what i was referring to on the "bill" part).
