Film at 11: A Church is not a PAC. A PAC is not a Church.

There's a move to revoke the LDS Church's tax-exempt status for violating the section of the Federal code that limits the use of such organizations to influence legislation.

This seems entirely appropriate to me.

Do As Thou Wilt.

You must do what you feel is right of course.........
I feel sorry for those who are devout Church members yet wouldn't touch the prop8 amandment with a bargepole....

I'm surprised nobody's started a case to end government recognition of any and all church weddings. Some preacher says a few words and the result is binding on the Government-- seems to me that violates the Establishment Clause.

They run Utah -- the lines between religion and legislation were LONG gone from the very conception of that state.

I would LOVE to see the Mormons, and for that matter, the Catholics and the Scientologists lose their tax exemptions. Problem is that the major faiths in this country have what amounts to a mexican standoff; stop recognizing the other guy's church and he stops recognizing YOURS as a 'legitimate faith'.

You know, we have the makings of one hell of a sect war/balkans war, in this country. :p
