On June 9, the church received a letter from the IRS stating that "a reasonable belief exists that you may not be tax-exempt as a church … " The federal tax code prohibits tax-exempt organizations, including churches, from intervening in political campaigns and elections.

Now they're going after churches for preaching peace? It's okay if they support blowing people up? Funny, I don't remember seeing "Thou shalt not kill (unless you have a war, then it's okay)" in the Commandments. I don't remember seeing "Turn the other cheek, but if he hits that one too, you can kick the crap out of him," in the New Testament either.

If you think about it, this happens all the time. The IRS should either enforce the rule or drop the rule.

Think about Satan Sharpton - I mean, Rev Sharpton. He had political campaign speeches in a church. So did Al Gore, and not to mention a string of Republicans.

My opinion is that none of them should do this stuff from a church.
