Starring James Caviezel (as leading role of Jesus Christ), "The Passion," in my opinion, does not induce an anti-Semitic depiction of Jewish people; rather, it is a deep and profound truth which Mel Gibson had courage to recreate for all world to see.

"The Passion" is playing in movie theaters everywhere. My advice is to view this movie with an open mind and open heart - rest will follow.

I rate this movie: 4 STARS

Churches are not merely "exempt" from taxation because they make application to IRS for that legal "privilege", they are non-taxable because of First Amendment. It's a matter of jurisdiction. The government may only tax that which it has jurisdiction over.

Interestingly enough, even IRS acknowledges that churches are tax-exempt and tax-deductible without ever applying for that status. In their words, it's "automatic" (Pub. 557 and IRC Sec. 508). Furthermore, contributions to churches are also "automatically" tax deductible (Pub. 526). Why then do churches subordinate themselves to IRS, and thereby waive many important constitutionally guaranteed rights? Why do they agree to numerous restrictions imposed on them by 501c3 status? Certainly not because they were well informed. It only happens out of ignorance.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)

Many a preacher is getting fed up with having their tax-exempt status held over their head, and used as a mechanism for restricting their speech. The 501c3 is a huge liability to all but most politically correct of churches.

Churches generally organize as 501c3 at advice of their attorney; but those who did so only got one side of story. Just wait until you hear "the rest of story."
