You misrepresent what I said which is that churches to have a tax exempt status should not be in the business of politics.
If they want to be political, and many are, they need to lose that status. Otherwise the dem party will become a church tomorrow.
But I did not malign the decency and the goodness of churches.
They should be promoting their own issues and candidates and making sure the congregations know what and who is evil.
Right now you have "catholic" congressmen and legislators who are babykillers. All they've done is steal the Catholic vote, while promoting socialism and stabbing the faithful in the back.
Churches were all tax exempt until around 1916 and they should be now. They should be required to pay for public services such as fire protection and street maintainence, but not required to support the atheist public schools as many churches in fact host their own educational facilities.
that churches to have a tax exempt status should not be in the business of politics.
Why not? The Constitution doesn't say that. They should have complete freedom of speech.
The 1st amendment prohibits the government from establishing an official church, like the Church of England, or the Roman Catholic Church (Church of the United States)
The only non-profits who should be silenced politically are those who simply, secretly and soley suck tax dollars out of government budgets, such as "social service providers" hiding in DHHS and "education" budgets...Of course they are bristling with democrat activists at election time.
Otherwise the dem party will become a church tomorrow.
She did not say that!
Ever heard of the Universalist Unitarian Church, or Black Liberation Theology? There must be hundreds of them disguised as churches.
