Its not a churches "job" to take people in.. a church is created by people so they can worship what they want. They have no obligation to help people or anything even close.. just because they DO offer help does not mean they were supposed to.
Being compensated for damages caused by generousity is certainly not a crime.

I truly disagree, these are non profit, non taxed organizations that are based to help people and to give them money sets a precedent that is truly wrong.
People back in the day would go to churches if their houses were destroyed in tornadoes or fire and so on. Churches have always been a safe haven sanctuary, and once we allow government in we destroy the seperation of chuirch and state.
If we were to talk about taxing them we'd get fried. So it is now ok to not only not tax them but give them money for one of their main purposes?
I just see this as being very wrong and being something that all sides will live to regret.
