Why not? It is lawful and the contribution in and of itself does not entangle.
I'm not talking about a church seeking "tax exempt status", that has already been addressed twice--they are exempt as a matter of law.
If the Government were to disallow the deduction in the future, so be it. But we certainly have warrant to claim our statutory rights--just as Paul did when he appealed his case to Caesar.
