Yeah but how could there possibly be an organization like that? It's not like every single town in Vermont has big buildings with tons of available space and the organizations that run them are tax free...

Also, even if there were it's not like those organizations literally state their mission is to help people, serve the poor and needy, and welcome all comers.

Oh wait.....

It would never work. An organization with that much power and moral influence would immediately become a highly networked cult embedded at every level of authority constantly trying to sway political decisions even though it goes against their nonprofit status.

Thank science that just isn't possible! I'd be very worried if there was some international group forcing politicians to pledge allegiance to them over any other moral or philosophical code and ensuring our country (and others) are run according to some cultish ideals.
