But I understand what you're saying.

BTW, just so yall know....."church" is far more than the brick and mortar that is seen from the street. A lot of churches do a ton of humanitarian and community aid out of those big brick and mortar buildings. They just don't call the AJC to publish it like a corporation would. So just because you don't always hear about it or read about doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Trust me, I've been involved and still do quite a few "community projects" and different things to help people I don't even know and we do it for our own well being, satisfaction, and purpose. Again, just because the masses don't see people out there building homes for the homeless or serving at a soup kitchen (we do both out of my church BTW ), it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. It most certainly does.
Though this is true i will go to say churches do alot more for their church/members then outside community. Sorry but multi million dollar facilities and salary employees make it very hard for me to see that this is a TAX FREE enviroment of worship only

If i was christian my family would study the bible at home and interpet it for ourselves; we do send our children to school to read there is no reason not to use our public education.
