Dear Christian schools, churches, individuals, etc.

It’s best to get out of the government money business, anyway. It was a known risk to take ‘faith based initiative’ money under Bush, and it’s a known risk to rely on any money in any way from the government.

If Catholic churches refuse the Eucharist to Methodists and muslims isn’t it discriminating against creed?

Religious schools could limit themselves to only members of the church supporting them, thus limiting enrollment to those who agree doctrinally.

Religious schools could devolve into home schooling co-ops centered at the church and attending those facilities but no longer officially a non-profit, but require membership to be part of that faith to use the facility.

The faithful could rise up and keep paying to keep the religious schools going, regardless of the loss of non-profit status.

I hope if it comes to this, that Christians will not go meekly like sheep to the slaughter. It is way past the time to resist.

A possible way around it is to use the gift tax loophole.

Classify your donations to your church as "gifts" so they can too.

That exempts $20,000 per year per person.

The Federal Government is going to put us all out of business.
I wouldn’t worry about the 150,000,000 who are currently dependent on the federal government. I am sure when the time comes they will step right up and embrace individual responsibility.

The policy at Bob Jones was indeed loathsome and contrary to Scripture...

Loathsome yes, but how was it contrary to scripture? Or supported by scripture for that matter?

This tax exempt stuff needs to stop anyway. Churches and Colleges as far as I know don’t make much of a profit. If they don’t have the tax exempt status they don’t have to take a bunch of carp off the govt.

So if the SCOTUS upholds the traditional view of marriage, does that then mean that gay organizations lose their non-profit status?
