' Onward CHRISTIAN.....$$$$$$$$$$.....SOLDIERS '

Laughable. The entire article focuses on the 5-7% of their funding that went to "objectionable" causes like defending traditional marriage and debunking global warming.

No mention of how much good the other 93% did? Nope, no agenda there...
 
I think it would be a good start to get rid of non-profit status.  If these and other organizations are going to be in politics then let them pay taxes like everyone else.

Nothing wrong with half truths right Bear? Typical Democrat tactic.

The people supporting those NFP's have paid far more than their fair share of taxes on their income, so why should the organizations be taxed on the donations they receive?

If your donations to Planned Parenthood or the Sierra Club are deductible, why shouldn't theirs? Maybe labor unions should be taxed as well? Should we tax Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts too? They promote civic responsibility... that's politics, no?

Yeah, it's kinda hard to single out the faith based guys without going down a slippery slope and targeting everyone who is "in politics"...
 
So has the money being used to buy yachts, mansions and exotic cars. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? PP and Sierra Club are not involved in politics? Since when? Notice I said "going to be involved in politics". I did not specify certain organizations like you would like to do. I was talking about all of them. The ones I agree with and the ones I do not. Personally I'd like to see all non-profit status disappear. I believe there is far too much abuse. Look at the infrastructures of a lot of these organizations. Huge salaries for the executives, fancy benefits (private jets, huge mansions) massive structures..... How much of the money that they bring in actually goes toward assistance verses running the business?

Yes to unions, yes to the scouts, yes to all of them as far as I am concerned. You are the one who singled out religion, not me. I wonder why that is? Could it be that you realize they are the biggest abusers of non-profit out there? Nah, you will never admit that.
 
For every NFP that is abusing the system, there are dozens if not more who aren't.

If they're taxed, for every one who can make the change, there will be dozens who shut down.

Just exactly what's served by that? Making you happy at the expense of the groups being served?
 
Nothing to do with me feeling good. Has to do with evening out the playing field and not picking favorites.

I think there would be far more efficient ways to do this. Perhaps base the operating costs and salaries on their income. For instance, if a company uses more than 10% of their income for operating expense then they loose their tax exempt status. May be specify that the only monies put toward allowable projects are tax exempt. That allows those groups that actually do some good to continue and those who fly around in jets and buy their executives mansions to pay taxes on that money like everyone else. I'm sure others have some ideas as well. The current system, like many others in this country is broken and needs to be fixed.
 
Thing that Really caused the RED FLAG to GO UP was (cointained within that lenghty article) thier Horse SHIIT idea to promote 'Evangelizing the WORLD' in the name of christianity.
Because they have a shiit-load of 'dough' ($), this makes 'them' privileged characters?
(As a few examples) countrys like Israel (JEWS).......India (HINDUS)....or China/Japan/Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam/Laos (Buddhist).........ought to Throw those Asss-holes...'out on thier ears'.
We're Soooo quick to put down Muslims for being Troublemakers because of thier beliefs(And yes, a lot of them are), But ANYONE who buys into the christian FRAUD story, and does not see them as a FIST(albeit a VELVET FIST), well I've got a Bridge in BROOKLYN for Sale, for them.
One need look no further than the US Bible belt so SEE first hand the "Walking DEAD" manipulated zombies walking around. !!!

 What is the difference between those dastardly Christians wanting to EVANGELIZE THE WORLD or Islam giving you the ten second choice " Jesus or Allah".....?
 
And then the short haircut if you make the wrong choice?

No, people criticise the intolerance and violence that's demonstrated by the extremists, and there's also valid criticism directed towards the moderates who won't publicly decry what the extremists are doing.

There are lots of Christians who've called out the Westboro crowd and others who engage in violence "in the name of God" to further their agenda. That's why Westboro's been so marginalized. You don't see atheists needing to speak out against the Westboros of the world because mainstream Christians are already doing it.

Last time I checked, Methodists weren't beheading Lutherans in the streets of Minnesota. Yet, it's not uncommon for the Shias and Sunnis to do that to each other... If Methodists were beheading Lutherans, I'm pretty certain that you'd have the Presbyterians and Baptists calling the others out on their actions...

Trying to validate your belief system by insulting other peoples' belief systems?...
 
Oh let them spend/donate as much as they want.  They'll certainly need to if any of them hope to squirm through that eye of the needle.
 
Convenient place to draw the line. Draw it so that the stuff you do believe in is OK but the stuff you do not agree with is not. Not saying that killing folks over differing beliefs is a good thing but I think there are other things that could be on a different side of that line you are drawing in the sand.
