Who should hold them accountable? If they pay their taxes then it is between them and their followers. Everyone is free to do what they want with their money.

- drewcoo 5y agoAre you saying it's never between churches and their followers, given churches don't pay taxes?
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoNo, sorry for not having been clear. I am saying that if the churches pay their taxes from their commercial activities, without trying to hide their income (using their completely unfair tax-free position for non-commercial activities) - in other words do not fraud, then the fact that their followers give them money is irrelevant. This is an individual choice to give your money to whoever you want. For style this is Wikipedia or science, for others this is a church. My comment about taxes was just because we hear about churches that hide commercial activities behind the facade of non-profit ones b that are not taxed. Otherwise how they legally get their money is their program and choice.
