” It all comes down to whether churches can continue to have their tax exempt status.”
No. In Houston, and anywhere the Pink Mafia has power, it all comes down to “Can a church oppose homosexuality...or any other kind of sexuality? Can a church preach about ANY morality, or does it have to give way to sin?”
This has nothing to do with tax-exempt status. It has everything to do with using the power of the state to intimidate and harass anyone who believes in any moral standard. It is about shutting Christians - not churches, but Christians - up.
The First Amendment of churches will be violated when they give up their tax exemption. How? The power to tax is the power to control. It’s that simple. I am really surprised that my fellow Freepers have failed to hit on that principle in this thread. I am very disappointed.
