Despite your age, I and others have to school you over and over again:
Hey, stupid, my posts were about Leeds, not he US.
All churches in the US are tax exempt as long as they behave. That includes no politics.
If you and your friends have a beer, play poker, and pray, you are not tax exempt and you are not a church.
Prayer: talking to God silently or mumbling.
Good enough?
The official definition:
Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication.Too complicated for me...
Dear God, make mommy healthy again.
That's a prayer a four-year-old kid understands and can define.
