| Message | This is ridiculous. If a religion is taxed as a business, it must be permitted to advertise as one. And just because a church, mosque, temple, etc. is advertising does not mean that it is "preaching." Consumers have to put up with advertising garbage on all sorts of products; why should faith differ? |
