“SURRENDER their rights to ... First Admendment “Free Speech” ... when practiced behind a “tax-exempt church pulpit”. Period.””

So the government decides what a Church may say? The government can dictate to a church that certain biblical passages are not protected speech?

Church Czar's in the near future. . .just to ensure a church toes the political line and only preaches in favor of homosexuality, homo-m,arriage, illegal aliens, redistribution of wealth. . .got it.

Yep ... it's already that way in Canada ... for preaching against sodomy.


IRS 501-C3 doesn't ban that kind of preaching yet.


However, IRS 501-C3 "does indeed" PROHIBIT tax-exempt churches from:

1) endorsing candidates for public office

2) attempting to influence legislation.



That's where Houston's Mayor has these churches by the ears.

They are attempting to "influence legislation".

These churches are "guilty as charged".



Undoubtedly, the Houston Mayor's strategic plan is to "nuke" these churches, as follows:

1) get the Houston City Council to pass LGBT legislation

2) use that issue as "a baited trap" to spark church opposition

3) gather "solid evidence" against all these churches (spys, sermons, etc)

4) ask the IRS to prosecute these churches

5) the IRS will decline (the Mayor knows this)

6) Mayor files lawsuit (targeted to the SCOTUS) for strict IRS enforcement

7) SCOTUS agrees with IRS 501-C3 "federal contactor status" ... as they did with Bob Jones University in 1973

8) Checkmate.
