WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS . . . = = = The 'same' People Who Want Total Separation of Church and State. = = = Want to Tax Churches and Any Religious Charitable Activities. I For One Believe That: There Should be Separation of Organized Church and Organized State. But that there IS the 'personal' FREEDOM to be a Religious Person 'within' the State Setting. NO Taxation of ANY Religious Activities or Properties. The Simple Fast Is: For about 150 Years before the Personal Income Tax and the Creation of the IRS by the Government of the USofA. The were NO Laws establishing Taxation of Religious Properties and Charitable Giving (Restricting Religious Freedom). God Bless America ~ RHF If you don't understand it, then allow me to help. The term "separation of church and state" does not appear in the US Constitution, nor the Declaration of Independence. The closest thing to it is in the First Amendment, which starts with my favorite five words: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..." Only a lawyer could claim not to understand the plain meaning of those words. Dave |
