"I don't agree with taxing churches, per se. The people who donated their money to their churches have already paid twice: not only have they been taxed on that money, they also are doing without it."


             The same thing can be said about somebody who goes to a bar and gets plastered. He's taxed on the money he earned and he goes home without the money he spent in the bar. But then the bar has to turn around and pay taxes on the money they got from the customer.
             In view of the fact that bars and churches to basically the same things, why is it fair that the bar pays taxes and the church does not?
