The Role of Religion in the Tax System

Bishop Laurie would say, we're not seeking an exemption for the church. We're saying this is a wrongful law. It should be imposed on no one. And I think that's the path we could take in these cases. People, our religious tradition, I think enters our life in more than a frame for an exemption the laws impose on others. But enters most critically by establishing that biped who conjugates verbs is a moral agent or as Lincoln would say, no, nothing made in the graven image was sent into this world to be uprooted.
