To be fair, I’ve run into a fair number of Churches that operate like secular businesses.
The Constitution permits churches to advocate for candidates. It is only the government that cant.
Hurry!!!
This has been a scam to allow Black Churches to throw political rallies in their buildings for years. It was time to even the playing field.
Correct. Separation of church and state protects worship it doesn’t protect the government.
The first sentence mentions LBJ That’s all I need to know about why Trump fixed this abomination.
My church tells us it is a sin to vote for certain measures and to vote for the lesser of two evils when not voting will get the bad guy elected
They need protection?
The IRS is going to hold that over the church? Not what the constitution intended
[to protect the Constitutional conditions of separation of church and state.]
THAT is NOT in the Constitution. That phrase comes from a court.
The DEMOCRATS REGULARLY ABUSED this, though.
LBJ was ...... not a nice guy (I’m being too kind)
The pastor has so little time on the pulpit to tell people about the good news of Jesus Christ. Taking that time to talk about politics is it difficult trade-off. I doubt biblically based churches who are eager to bring people to Christ and to help people sanctify their lives is going to spend much time and energy getting people elected to office.
separation of church and state refers to no official state religion, not advocating for candidates
this article is pure BS
“God damn america”
Correct. Allowing politics into churches in no way seeks to ‘establish one state religion’....which is the gist of what is in the constitution.
Why did you capitalize “black?”
Exactly - this whole thing has been misrepresented for a long time
Which is typical
A black (NOT “Black”) conservative minister was on Newsmax or Fox last nigh,t and he pointed out the fact that black (NOT “Black”) churches have been blatantly doing this forever.
The phrase comes from a letter that Jefferson wrote.
It is not codified anywhere.
People (not YOU Ferris) seem to forget that the Bill of Rights prohibits the government from doing certain things. For example, the government cannot impede your free speech; but your employer can. The government cannot impose a state religion on you. It doesn’t say that religion cannot have a political opinion-which would be covered by the religion and speech clauses.
This is not advanced, technical understanding of the Constitution. This is “fourth grade level” understanding of it.
I guess fourth grade is not as encompassing as it used to be.
When a 501(c)3, or 4, etc. IS signed and filed, THEN the church obligates itself to such nonsense as the Johnson Amendment, and and all other public policy incursions of government.
Sign on that dotted line . . . surrender your liberties.
I thought some court quoted it, no?

Free speech is paramount.
Congress can decide if to tax churches otherwise.
Buying their silence through the tax laws is unconstitutional.
