Even just a cursory review of IRS Publication 78 (an annual list all 501c3
organizations) reveals that many thousands of 501c3's are immoral and
wicked organizations. These include:
* Satanists
* Wiccans
* Homosexuals
* Pedophiles
* Pornographers
* Pro-Aborts
* Pagans
* Atheists
* and thousands of other organizations which are hellbent on destroying
the moral fabric of this nation
Moral fabric of this nation?
Could you be more specific?
Becoming a 501c3 places any church in very sordid company. It is both
unbiblical and illogical to claim that a church becomes "legitimate" by
receiving a 501c3 status.
Obviously an unbiased and objective source...not.
And the opinion you have expressed is unbiased and object?
I don't think so.
