I have no problem with them doing that, but I do not like having to pay for it in the form of churches and their tax free status. Churches, especially mega churches, rake in millions upon millions of tax free dollars which they use to entice more people to the churches and get yet more tax free money.<br><br>Do a little math, average income of church member approximately $50,000.00 a year X minimum 10% tithe = $5,000.00 X number of members, say 2,500 = $12,500,000.00. TAX FREE! That is a fair amount of change and NO TAXES and a free work force, minus the mega bucks the paid overhead take home. You wonder why you have so many churches!
