Hadn't considered that angle.

Its def a way around church funding. But a legal one. So the use of laundering weakens the complaint.

The only potential legal question. Is are churches buying the bible or openly encouraging memembers to. And let's be honest. That tax dodge is totally ignored by the IRS for so long. I can see it getting challenged as unequal application of law. Unless the IRS dose some major attack on most churches.

Edit; odd autocorrect. Nuking vs buying.
