Why again is the business of religion a tax shelter?
I assume a pastor of a congregation has to pay income
tax like anybody else, but churches avoid property
taxes right?

I guess I don't have too much of a problem with
folks writing off their tithes though. Say, if
I find God in my flower garden, can I write off
the cost of a rototiller? God in the stars...
maybe I could get an expensive Newtonian. God
in Nature...my subscription. God in teevee...my
cable subscription--nah, not that, I think TBN
comes free--and you get what you pay for, heheh.
Great hair though, and love those suits.
God in comedy too.

While I'm here...the movie Stigmata:
Maybe just a matinee, not worth full price,
and another lame slap at the Catholic church--
if you're going to offend the church, do it
right--"The Mission" was a good movie...
"Last Tempation" is on my top ten.

Everybody always likes to talk about religion,
but nobody ever wants to do anything about it <g>

If God created Man in her own image, She'd not
have used so many genes I think.
