No, just reality, Komrade. the real goal of homosexuals is to destroy both the church and the family.

This has been said in many mainstream already. The state can take something's away but it can't take your religious beliefs away. I hope they poke this nest then it will be settled for good..

That's the same thing that was said in the 60's. Change is never easy. Some people will never change. But change happens.

Well, the left accepts theft from citizens, so long as the Government says it is correct. The government accepts a lot that just should not be accepted. Change gets easier when the left does it.

Churches in Australia are tax free too, but I don't understand why. Like they don't pay income tax and they don't pay GST (VAT). I can understand charities being tax free, and if the churches want to set up as charities, that's cool too (but they mustn't only give help to their own congregation).

The Church of England has investments of 5.2 billion and doesn't pay tax on that.
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-23467750

No one knows how rich the Catholic Church is worldwide, but it has revenues of over $170 billion in the USA alone.

Like the Catholics, no one knows the Mormon Church income but they own about $35 billion in temples alone and they get $7 billion from tithing every year.
http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/13/13262285-mormon-church-earns-7-billion-a-year-from-tithing-analysis-indicates

And that's just those three churches.

I think all income of religious organisations should be taxed, and they can get concessions for charitable work and donations, just like ordinary businesses and people.

Neither the Christian or any other religion should be incorporated into any part of government at any level. But some Christians think it should, because for a long time it was -- and in violation of the Establishment clause. Now they're righting things, and these people interpret it as their religion being taken from them. And again, the irony is that for a very long time, these same people used religion for political purposes, to tell others whom they could marry and plenty of other stuff.

I find it hard to believe that the government taking away a tax advantage the rest of us don't have is somehow an attack on Christians. . .

The tax power is control.

That is why religious organizations tend to be exempt. Most modern governments don't want to be accused of controlling religion.

First of all as a recovering Catholic I must inform you the "THE church" means "The Catholic church"

Secondly, I have a solution . Churches could have an exempt section, church buildings, missionary trips, youth camps, charity work, pastor salaries to a designated point.
Then a taxable section for things like money sent to maintain a certain mansion in Italy with more valuable art than many museums and certainly applying to funding destined for any political actions the church is involved with.
