What exactly did the complaint allege that your non-profit venture did that would allow for damages to be awarded?
There are also some “religious groups” that are not really religious groups and simply call themselves that to avoid paying taxes.
Well, at least attempt to avoid paying taxes. It's an attempt that often does not go well. I recall a group which I'll call the Church of the Uprights which claimed that its religion was worshiping pro football, with its religious services being held on Sunday afternoons gathering in front of the almighty TV set. They really thought the government would buy that. After getting hit with penalties, they didn't think it so funny. (I made up the name of the group, of course, because of privacy law and the terms of this site. But just like this made up name the real name included a football term in it.

There was an organized group of Floridians who would on a regular basis sacrifice chickens and other birds as part of their religious ceremonies. Neighbors objected. The chicken sacrifice was upheld by the courts. Interesting case. Santeria is the religion and the practitioners of it are primarily located in Cuba.Well, at least attempt to avoid paying taxes.

Can't imagine why the objection. We sacrifice a gazillion chickens a year to the God of Groceries.
Haha.Can't imagine why the objection. We sacrifice a gazillion chickens a year to the God of Groceries.
Maybe it was the dancing naked around the fire that the neighbors objected to.
I think Desi Arnaz belonged to that church. He sang Babalu all the time.
I somehow can’t envision Lucy sacrificing chickens, even with Ethel’s help.
I can. Picture the episode where they are wrapping chocolates on the conveyor belt. Just imagine chickens and a meat cleaver instead of chocolates.I somehow can’t envision Lucy sacrificing chickens, even with Ethel’s help.
Actually, the chocolate episode was the first one that came to mind when I read your post. But wrapping chocolates is not quite the same as decapitating chickens. Close, maybe. But not the same. Haha.
I blame adjusterjack.You guys have totally ruined that episode for me. I'll forever see bloody chicken instead of chocolates while watching it from now on. Thanks Guys.
