Church isn't a business tho. It has very very low income and priests make on average slightly less then teachers.
A church has an income and that income should be taxed. If the church truly gives to charity then that can be written off. I don't know whats so hard to understand. Any profit a church makes should be taxed like any other business. If the church operates at a loss or is truly completely non profit then taxes won't hurt those churches.

All i hear on tv is gay rights. Personally I find homosexuality disgusting but it's their ass not mine.lol. I don't care if you're gay straight or the other I just don't want to hear about it. I don't need to know about your oral fixations or personal preferences. I don't care what gets you off just do it and shut up about it! What do you care if I approve of your naughty time. If your happy why do you care. I support your rights even though personally I find it gross. I also ssupport the rights of those who say it's wrong because they are entitled to their opinion and beliefs. You can't punish someone for not agreeing with you. You can't write someone off as ignorant and hateful just because they have a different opinion.

But a Church does give back to the community. Churches give to the poor a lot. Also, priests need a way to make at least some income, God doesn't throw them pennies from heaven. And as I said before, priests make around as much as teachers, often less.
Also churches don't have an income, their existence is based on the generosity of people, NOT, their own work. So they don't have an income in the normal sense.

But there are also pastors who make a lot of money and they need to be taxed like everyone else. Not every church is Catholic with priest. I myself am Baptist.
Churches are tax exempt because they are charitable non-profit organizations. If that's not enough, think of your favorite charity or one you have benefited from. Do you want that organization to be taxed into oblivion?

That would make him a relative moralist and He never took or gave money for his ministry.
No but if that charity has a surplus of cash revenue which it is not using for the community then that money should be taxed. If a church doesn't make a profit it won't be taxed but alot of mega churches are bringing in millions of dollars. Dollars which should be subject to taxation.
That might describe a charitable foundation that donates $$ from interest it earns on it's surpluses. Now you're into scholarship/grant $$ too.
Churches give to the poor and have to manage for themselves. Churches can never be making a profit since their money is just donations will be given to give Bishops, Cardinals, Priests etc an income, be given to the poor, or used to reinnovate the Church
I think that there's a difference between regular churches and the multi-million dollar mega churches. I'm fine with taxing the megachurches as I believe that they have lost their faith. It seems to me like they're more about the money and that's not what a church should be about.
Exactly thank you. Mega churches should not be considered non-profit. If a church falls within a certain tax bracket like 100, 000 and up per year then they should be taxed.
QUESTION
As i've approved a legislation concerning copyrights that, instead of encreasing my Economy-rating lowered it of a raw 10%...
is there a guide/solution to issues/economic issues in order to boost in the briefest time our economy?
So small churches should stay small? What happens to the incentive to grow and do more good works? (you have fallen into the trap of punishing success.)
How does making money suddenly make you guilty of "losing your faith?" If they are successful in appealing to a lot of people are as a result make a lot in donations they didn't automatically become greedy, faithless scammers.
No not punishing success just making sure everyone pays their fair share. A church like a business can get as big and successful as it wishes and make as much money as it can but it should play by the rules everyone else plays by. Give unto ceaser what is ceasers and give unto God what is Gods.
Then the Catholic Church should be paying a lot of taxes to every nation they have a Cathedral or other place of worship.
