"Then why are you pretending to disagree with me?"

Pretending? That's a presumptive word! I do disagree with you in actuality, Amos. If churches are taxed and muzzled, I consider that a form of taxation without representation.

If you wish to speak of taxing actual businesses or real estate the church owns which are not directly use for worship. Say a ten story office building, or a strip mall or an apartment complex, these can be discussed as a separate issue.
