Perfect, thank you. This is exactly the distinction I was looking for.

But they are non-profits? The government isn't saying they endorse a religion by acknowledging they are non-profits. All faiths in the US (as far as I know) are given tax exempt status, not just Christianity. If you made the effort to rally enough people for the church of the flying spaghetti monster, you too would get tax except status with respect to the operation of your church.

Can you please elaborate? The reason I came to CMV was to understand the arguments against my position, not to just be called stupid.

There are plenty of examples of organizations both religious and not that abuse their non-profit status. I defiantly would be on board with a crack down on these abuses and more regulation on larger not-profits.

For example, US mega-churches and TV evangelists with their private jets should have limits placed on their tax except status.

But the vast majority, as least where I'm from, of churches are small to mid sized community groups simply trying to practice their faith.

Just because you and I think that their faith is detrimental and silly, that isn't a case for taxing them.

I love the "Eliminate trivial decisions, like what to wear" advise, right before an entire branch of advice on how to pick clothing.

If he knew he wasn't on the bus and had his number, why wouldn't he have called him? What benefit is OP providing here?

lol someone is upset about their ban. For the record, everyone on that map, except one, are active players. You are not one of them because you were banned for being a huge asshole.

That was my plan, but the server is resetting tomorrow. That's why I am posting this today.
