Oh, I’m fully aware of their evil, I was just touching on the subject of their change over time, how they morph into progressive enclaves and get filled with parasites.
Of note also, a church doesn’t need to have a government sanction to operate or be “tax exempt”. “Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion...”
Churches are automatically exempt from taxation, but most sell their independence for the corporate shield. The 501 C-3 is truly an insidious compact.
The entire structure of non-profit law is the yellow underbelly of the beast that is the Left. It not only funds the Left; it subjugates legitimate charities to godless bureaucracies staffed and headed by Leftist ideologues. The accumulation of wealth and power under the guise of good has always been chapter one in the devil’s playbook.
The complete elimination of non-profit status would be one of the greatest goods in world history. Let everyone play by the rules and let those who are motivated by religion or principle continue without temporal “reward.”
