-Caveat Lector- think churches should not be taxed with one exception. When they engage in political activity, they are no longer a church established for "spiritual" needs,
Harry Anslingner once wrote and as for the Mafia, pull up one string of spagetti (hey, how is that for discrimination, Italian Spaagetti) - however, when you pull up one string of spagetti, up comes the whole plate....so Anslinger also noted that so many famous Mafiaso - even Chuckie Colson - when they got out of prison, got into religion. Herein lay the secrets of the Mafia. The ones who are so generous with their "gifts" - easy to buy friendship and police and politicians so when should a mobster lose his tax free status? Like a Marc Rich, or this ADL who was in cahoots with Meyer Lansky and to which a guy like Larry Flynt donates so generously? Religion makes a good laundering house now, just as does our Senate and Congress for what an investment we have here - Then we have those Undertakers........ A Church was designed for gatherings of the people, who when one was in need, others would provide assistance......a place of refuge. Then came James Cagney, the old movies, always gunned down in front of a church while the Priest his old friend, comes to his need. Why not, the guy paid for windows, organs, etc eetc etc. So the big connection is when is a church not a church and not a place of refuge - well remember what Christ did - he kicked the money changers out of the Temple. Like Castro kicked the Mob, out of Cuba. Somehwere there is a message here? Pat Robertson is the Golden Calf?
