"You don't care if George Soros gives millions to the church that is actively campaigning for a left wing candidate and it is all tax exempt? He gets a tax right off and the gift is tax free to the church? There are laws against this..and I am sick of the tax exempt churches and organizations twisting and breaking the law..

I agree they should be free to discuss the moral questions of the day.

It isn't censorship..They lose tax exemption not the right to speak freely."

I will reply by paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin...."While I abhor everything that George Soros stands for and as a result everything he has to say....I will fight to the death to protect his right to say it"

If his church is speaking truth as they see it...the government should not be able to strip it of it's revenues based on what is said from it's pulpit....Period!!!

My error "tax write off" not "right off".. We disagree.. Being tax exempt is a privilege.. because of our long held beliefs in God, church and charity.

Atheists would love for the churches to lose that exemption..and I don't want them to lose it..You obviously do not like election laws or tax codes..Write your Congressman.

I don't want my pastor, my Bishop or my church to tell me who to vote for...whether I agree with him or not.My vote is between God and me.
