All Established Churches, Mosques And Synagogues Must Pay Taxes!


These proselytizing religious organizations, mosques, masjids, and churches MUST be made to pay property taxes, land ownership taxes, and other related taxes. These organizations operate like a business. They pay their preachers, pastors, and maintenance personnel salaries. Therefore, they aught to pay taxes just like their parishioners do, from their wages and for their homes too.

For decades these organizations were able to recruit members, exploit them coercively, through threats, or compulsion, to pay a TITE or part of their incomes to the church. In some religious organizations like Islam. A certain percentage of the convert's income must be given to the mosque.

The Lavish Life Style Of Preachers:

In some churches, it is quite evident how lavish the preacher or pastor lives. He has a modern or the latest car for his family. He/she dresses in the latest fashion, (though sometimes very modestly), wears jewelry and other accessories just like most of the parishioners do. And one wonders if this life style is not a lucrative business, especially for those who do not, or is not expected to pay the state any taxes.

Who Says Churches Are Entitled To A Free Pass?

For decades these religious organizations behaved as though they have A Divine Right to operate without due regard, or to pay Caesar his due as the Bible says. Which conflicts with the view of Jesus, who said, 'Give Unto Caesar What Is Caesars. ' Meaning, pay your taxes if you do not want to be arrested and charged by Caesar's magistrates.
