Honestly, the cord needs to be cut between religion and the government. Not only should churches have 501c3 removed, but donors should not get the tax break. Donations to your spiritual house should have no records for tax purposes.
I remember a goofy preacher years ago that was in a battle with the federal government over donor records. He basically told the Feds to go *@&! themselves and that he would burn all the records before he turned them over. The Feds didn't like him because he spoke out against the government. The FCC pulled the plug on his UHF television station just when he started getting into HAARP. This guy was red pilling people back in the 80s and the Feds didn't like it. On the flip side however, I do think he was ripping people off. But hey... that is the donor's problem. If someone wants to give their money to a grifter, that is their choice. We don't need nanny state to rescue us from our own stupidity - which is really just an excuse to crawl up everyone's business.
Sadly, the government exerts more influence in our houses of worship more than we realize. Could that be a reason they are so ineffectual? No one wants to rock the boat and receive unwanted attention from the powers that appear to run everything. Houses of worship will be involved in getting everyone into those FEMA camps and getting their shots. If you are in one of these places, get out now. God help us.
Its the 501c3 that kept pastors from preaching what the state doesnt like.
There are no political solutions to a spiritual problem.
Agreed. Removal of 501c3 would be the best thing to ever happen to the church.

Yep, Mark Taylor has been preaching about this for years.
