Source When a church accepts the 501(c)(3) status, that church: Waives its freedom of speech. Waives its freedom of religion. Waives its right to influence legislators and the legislation they craft. Waives its constitutionally guaranteed rights. Is no longer free to speak to the vital issues of the day. Becomes controlled by a spirit of fear that if it doesn’t toe the line with the IRS it will lose its tax-exempt status. Becomes a State-Church. The church in America today is, by and large, not speaking to the vital issues of the day. The church has been effectively silenced. There has been a chilling effect upon the church’s freedom of speech for fear of IRS retribution should the church get out of line. The inevitable result is a moral downward spiral in the culture as the church stands mute.

Money, money, money! That's all that matters. It's the judeo way. The inevitable result is a moral downward spiral in the culture as the church stands mute.
Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner.
