IN BRIEF: ...THINGS THAT ARE GOD'S - Stanley R Rader - January 1981

Stanley R Rader

In the course of being interviewed on various radio and TV talk shows, I have noticed that some people - usually some self-styled "village atheist" - cannot think straight about religious freedom because they are obsessed with the fact that churches are granted property tax exemption. Another Spanish Inquisition could be going full blast-but all they would care about is whether churches paid property taxes. Somehow many have got it into their minds that because churches enjoy tax-exempt status, the state has granted them some special privilege. From some people's point of view, the cost of this "privilege" ought to be regulation and control by the state. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
