legal positivism is fuggin dumb anyway
just because some 'legislater' said so, doesn't make it the law
plus, that legislation is only there to define lobbying, which is emphatically not against hte law, and if the government wants to call a politically active chuch a lobbying group and tax them accordingly, (taxing the expenditures used for the purposes of lobbying only, if I read that legislation correctly, and on a basic level, it doesn't cost much for a priest to talk to his congregation, so the taxation on that might not be an issue at all anyway) but just because a church is doing these things and is not being taxed doesn't mean its in violation of the law, it just means the law is failing to be fully applied. Basically, there's nothing saying that it is against the law for a priest to tell people how to vote.
