What's this?

My childhood church got called out for an internal fight about money.


So many of these churches are money making machines. They are not about Fellowship anymore. It's a business (daycare, after schooling, property development, retreat centers, etc.). I've seen it first hand. I've seen elders and deacons get into fist fights over church money.

How about we strip tax exempt for all places of religious congregation ... or at least limit it severely?
