False. While donations to churches are tax deductible, they aren't automatically 501c3 orgs. Source: my church applied to be one, in the event that church donations aren't automatically tax deductible.

- mr_overalls 7y ago> You seem to have missed the part where he mentioned 'my community'. See the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus' own interpretation of commandment to "Love thy neighbor" is that _all_ people are one's neighbor, not just one's set of geographically near persons. It's a lesson in empathy, which you seem to have missed as well.
