1. IRS need to be notify of this.

4. They know -- the churches are doing this on purpose to challenge the law

They want to have tax-exempt status and support political candidates at the same time, and they're pulling this stunt on purpose in hopes of inciting a court case that could overturn current federal laws.

I don't understand how they hope to pull it off -- since what they seem to be after is an opinion saying that as long as you call yourself a church you don't have to pay taxes, no matter what. But given the current Supreme Court, I guess anything is possible.

6. Two-fold tactic

Piss of the federal government. When lawyers/judges rule against their tax exempt status, Christians all over will be all over the judge.

7. I am firmly convinced a large segment of Fundy Christians want to start religious wars in this

country.

There needs to be more push back on them by the Government or it will come to fruition.

Religious Fundamentalism is becoming a big problem in America and needs to be put in check soon or else.

2. Chief Justice Roberts ...

and the idea that this was the work of a "lone wolf", "not the Church" ...

And, they're Tax Exempt? The Devil gets exemptions these days?

8. I'd like to see massive complaints filed the day after the election

against churches and non-profits that broke the law. Make them defend themselves. Suddenly they'll be up to their eyeballs in legal fees.
