It's a business like everything else.<br /> <br /> If it's more like a book club, in somebody's basement, who pays their fair share of burden, and no one is making monetary donations, I say leave it alone. <br /> <br /> Now, what I say should happen is that a new church tax be implemented, and all money raised be added to the NSF's budget. That would benefit humanity more than singing songs by pretty glass. HNZ,
