FOrget that. It used to be the people respected religion enough not to turn a holy worship service into a campaign stop, a stump speech, and to hand out bribes (tickets to see Obama) instead of worshiping the Lord.
It’s not just about “tax-exempt status”, it’s about mocking God.
Of course, a pastor at a black church telling his parishioners: “I want you to understand that not voting is a sin,” is simply using the fear of God to get more democratic votes.
Meanwhile, our church also will not put any voter guides in our church, because we don’t think people coming to worship God should feel like they have to support a political position to be accepted.
All I can say is that:
If God led us to it,
God will see us through it.
