On Taxing "Biblical" Theme Parks

Some Christians will do anything to shirk their responsibility to pay taxes.

The St. Petersburg Times reports that a "Biblical" theme park in Orlando Florida is seeking a tax exemption due to its religious subject matter.

Some day there will be a backlash against the privileged status that some Christians think they have a right to enjoy.

If this park operates as a non-profit ministry, then I don't have a problem with it.

As for chickens coming home to roost, churches already face discrimination by municipalities because of tax revenues. Kelo has only made it worse because now people have a great reason to confiscate church property.

And that is neglecting athiest attempts to get rid of the tax exemption on religious grounds.
