James, please check out my reply to Chris on the denominational thing. I didn't make it clear that I was only speaking of those churches I had attended, and would not have been justified to do otherwise. My problems with denominations, have been my problems, and I have always felt that anyone was free to worship wherever, and whenever, they so chose. When I read the "guidelines" of that, or those, groups, they sounded too much like an intention of fomenting unrest, and possible violence. If any church is, truly, a non-profit organization, then, of course, they should not be taxed. In some cases, certain people use this opening to obtain tax-free status dishonestly. That what has contributed to non-religious people trying to claim that all churches have unfair advantage. You and I, know better but, that doesn't do enough to rectify the situation. I guess non-believers are always going to search for something to beat us over the head with.
