A D.C. Church Avoids Paying Taxes on Vacant Properties

I have seen a few pastors driving Mercedes Benz so that should be your answer. Many use it as a tax umbrella


That's one good reason. quick way to get rich


In my book, no one should be payed to give God words.


I don't know about Canada but inUSA this is a huge business. I know people that are brain washed into giving all to the church. Even though the person making the donation has good intentions, the pastor is getting rich. I heard of a guy that lost his home because he was donating all of his money to the church.

It's the same here. My church is part of the " Église presbyterian du Canada(Presbyterian Church) " so basically it's not the pastor who have the money,but the presbyberian church. Then they pay the pastor and take all the money to help other church .

Tax the freeloaders like anybody else. Jail the child molesters and end all irritating privileges to the churches. Make God tax exempt.


Gen as usual you and i are on the same page. But to the child molester i will go a little farther as to just put them on con-camps and just erase that garbage from the island because we don't need that in our society.

"Make God tax exempt."

LOL now that's a funny line LOL

Too me it is disturbing to see the rise in religious fundamentalism of all faiths, and a spiritual belief system still based on dogma and ancient literature, written over 2,000 years ago, by sheep and goat herders looking at a goat's rear end all day, and making all these ridiculous dark ages rules and fables up.
