Seriously. We all talk about it, but as far as I'm aware, that's as far as the discussion goes.
So...where do we start? With our state legislatures and work our way up from there?
Prop 8 should be the precedent for taxing religious instititutions that intervene with public policy. If they want to play, then they have to pay. You just can't stir shit up and then hide behind your tax-exempt status.
