Why do you give a rat's ass about what atheists think? You already know we are 1) a lost cause, we know we are right and 2) we are therefore in your fantasy world, going to hell anyway so why not just keep quiet and let us go on our way unbothered?

You think their churches losing their tax exempt status could cause people to change their religious beliefs?
To date, I believe the Methodists have changed their tune on gay marriage, so changing it on abortion as well would not shock me that much.
Originally posted by whodeyWhat is the mechanism in the US for removing tax exempt status from some churches and not others on the basis of specific doctrines? Can you give us examples of it happening?
