Freedom From Religion Foundation On Clergy Housing Income Tax Break
Although it is a bit tangential, it is worth noting that Biblical scholars who do not hold with the “inerrancy” of the canonical books, do not believe that Jesus actually said most of the things he is reputed to have said. The “Jesus Project” took an organized approach to this controversy and had scholars vote on 1500 versions of 500 items attributed to Jesus in any extant work from the first three centuries of the Common Era. The “Render Unto Caesar” quote ranked eighth as something that it is likely Jesus actually said. Besides the three synoptic Gospels, it also shows up in the Gospel of Thomas (“Turn the other cheek” comes in first, for whatever that is worth).
Did IRS Target Israel? Suit By Pro-Israel Z Street Will Move Forward
This lawsuit much like Teapartygate confirms me in my view, that the evaluation of whether an organization’s purposes should allow it exempt status is not something that the IRS should be doing.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
