It is. But one thing the government is good at is picking and choosing what laws to enforce and who to go after. Unless this was a megachurch (unlikely since they are using an old-fashioned letter sign), it's not big enough to do anything about.

My father worked for the IRS for many years and, in general, they only go after the big fish (unless they are making a political point, like Obama's IRS was fond of doing). A small church probably isn't going to ruffle any feathers.

Oh for frick's sake. Willing to bet the entire congregation of that church doesn't have a combined 4 digit IQ.

Reminds me in my home county where we were having a vote to make it wet or not, and our retarded Baptist Church put on it's bulletin board "Jesus didn't drink whiskey". Well I guess that's true, but Jesus didn't drive a car or surf the internet either since whiskey wasn't invented yet.

How about we leave churches alone and stop taxing businesses, too.

That church should be made to suffer. Confiscate it or something, though someone above said something about being hacked and if that is the case, then of course that is different.
