The whole basis of the no taxing thing was because of the charity. I'm fine with small churches who do a lot of good for their community being exempt, the problem are the mega churches who make mountains of money and do nothing good with it.

I'm not. They can register as a tax-exempt charity and do the paperwork like all the other tax-exempt charities.

Sure, I agree with that.

Well if a church is doing so much charity that it offsets their profits then it won't be a problem.

That's the assumption. Many don't. They should have to prove they're doing that charity work like every other nonprofit.
