It\u2019s called Church Tax-Exemptions and Faith Based Initiatives. Why haven\u2019t we pushed Proposition 666 which would tax all Churches and end federal funding for Faith Based Initiatives? Oh I know, it wouldn\u2019t pass, right?<\/p>\n<p>So what? The fact is that just pushing such a proposition would cause these groups to go on the defensive. Maybe they will think it won\u2019t pass either and not campaign hard against it and be surprised at how many Americans are tired of Churches getting away with all this stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/examiner\/x-8928-Philadelphia-Atheism-Examiner~y2010m8d4-Mormons-lose-on-Proposition-8\" target=\"_blank\">Mormon Church funded most of the Proposition 8 campaign<\/a>, why have they not lost their <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Tax exemption\" rel=\"wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tax_exemption\">tax-exempt status<\/a> for political activism? The Catholic Church fucks kids; you would think that would be enough to get their tax-exempt status revoked. Some fundamentalist churched are actually praying for the death of the President and they don\u2019t even have to pay taxes.<\/p>\n<p>I want to push some propositions against these people. It\u2019s time to go on the offensive. Contact your representatives (state and federal) and tell them it is time to fight back against the Religious Right!<br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=dangeroustalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a><script src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js?pub=dangeroustalk\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n <!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles by Zemanta<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secularnewsdaily.com\/2010\/08\/04\/americans-united-applauds-court-ruling-against-proposition-8\/\">Americans United Applauds Court Ruling Against Proposition 8<\/a> (secularnewsdaily.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: medium none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=739fdee8-4620-431a-a1c6-b77a5ec9c32c\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><script src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=1454\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am really getting tired of always being on the defensive.
