Mega-church Taxation Status Settled

“It’s not yours, it’s God’s, and you’re not going to get it,” Copeland says of his financial records.
“The records belong to God? Well then so does the money, and gifts of over $11,000 in any year are subject to federal taxation.”
— Kvatch on the implications of the reverend’s statement.

Diva… Why thank you. I’ll be right over to check it out.
Mateo… “Question them?” Not at all. I’m just showing them the path. “Render unto Ceasar…” and all that. ;-)

About time….
Length of time for Congress to take action on something which should be rather obvious:
Roughly 30 years.

Mr_Blog… I’m reminded of that old joke that starts, “A priest, a rabbi, and a minister are discussing tithing…” and ends, “…I throw all my money in the air, and what God wants…God keeps.”
PT… And what’s so wonderful is that the good reverend supplied the reason himself. Imagine how many more weeks we could fund the war if we taxed Copeland’s ministries! Where’s Shrub?

God’s not going to like this…and you know what a temper he has. Time to install a lightening rod on the Capitol Building.

Frogette… When asked for a response, God’s spokesangel replied, “No comment.”
Gives new meaning to the absolution of “Death and Taxes”.
BB… My opinion is that neither can come too soon for the good reverend. The man is a bloodsucking tick.
