Tax religious expression? ....Wow!

What part of "The free exercise of religion shall not be infringed" do all y'all not understand? Of course, determining just what is a religious exercise can be an honest but sometimes troublesome debate. My view is that if it is a long standing practice of some long existing religion, predating by many years any attempt at governmental infringement (including taxation of donations); it is proscribed by the Constitution.

I once took an oath to defend that Constitution with my life if necessary, that has never been rescinded, and never will be. And I will do just that when the need arises. However, there is also a very nasty stench from this thread, that is way off topic and out of line !

If there is anything worse than bigotry, that would be ignorant bigotry. And the comments here all chuck full of both.

Excuse me while I go gag!
