Why are churches so special?

I am sick and tired of government trying to run our lives. They have went up on taxes for cigerettes and then they decide to pass a law that tells us we can pay more for smoking but cant smoke anywhere except our homes or cars oor outside. I know from seeing the health dept come into work that every business has to have no smoking signs place on their front doors. Well people our wonderful government is now trying to make it where the churches don't have to post these signs. Are they special? They already don't have to pay taxes. Church goes do smoke too so this bill is really a waste of time.

NASHVILLE -- Lawmakers are considering a proposal to exempt churches from a state law that requires "No Smoking" signs be posted at their entrances.

The state's indoor smoking ban went into effect in October. The ban applies to most indoor businesses and public places and requires that the international "No Smoking" symbol be posted at all entrances.
