IRS Goes After Radicalized Christian Church

by Sanders Kaufman <bucky@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 16, 2007 at 04:50 PM

Kudos to the IRS for finally going after these kinds of pseudo-churches.

Churches get a tax-exempt status from the IRS for most things.  But if a 
church decides to break election laws, they lose that exemption.

That's what happened to the Christian Coalition back in the 1980's when 
it was determined that they were not, as they had claimed, a church - 
but rather, a political campaign cor****ation for Republicans.

Churches are free to *discuss* politics, but once they issue religious 
edicts (or fatwa's.), endorsing one politician or another, they cross 
the line between religion and politics; becoming just another campaign 
cor****ation.

But it gets better - once these Republican churches are caught abusing 
their privleges and lose that tax exemption, the IRS will audit them to 
determine the extent of their crimes.
