Obviously sales taxes should go to the city and state, but are you suggesting that the Priest could potentially blackmail you into giving him additional funds for being on the church fence and or encourage you to renounce your atheism? That would not be ethical or legal of the priest. If I have it straight, good thing you are not going to be reliant on the fence for much longer. Just so I understand correctly, are you saying:
