95% of Democrats are ATHEISTS!
IF the tax exemption is removed then I expect the churches to start getting the people involved. You know like black churches who support dims are allowed today.
And what about the support of the sainted Muslims? Last I checked they were lukewarm about all this gay marriage stuff.
Just returned from a trip to Connecticut where we lived for 25 years. A church we used to attend now has a Fag Flag on its church sign because of one lesbian.
Amazing that an entire congregation would throw away their eternal salvation to please one angry, loudmouth lesbian.
Beto is is a nightmare, regretfully he is not only American but he is from TEXAS!. He speaks like he is from another country...he is a loony tune!
This essentially reflects the Democrat desire to make churches a government entity, a state religion as it were.
Which is what’s ironic considering the Liberals are the ones always claiming the separation of church and state which does not exist in the Constitution
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
Will Beto support ending tax-exempt status for mosques too?
Doubtful. I’ve been waiting for decades for Demos to regret anything.
Any Christian that votes for a Democrat is a moron.
Christians will be made the first target for blame and persecution if the Democrats get back in power.
Beta only said out loud what all of them believe.
The assumption seems to be that conservative/ traditional religious bodies and their organizations should just roll over and take this. Could a case be made that such a move violates the First Amendment at two points? 1. It amounts to establishment of religion because the government would limit the tax exemption to religious bodies it approves of. 2. It violates the free exercise of religion by having government dictate religious belief and practice.
If not, then maybe conservative Christians, Jews, and Muslims might want to take a “hard line” against the regime. Don’t pay the tax. What is the government going to do, lock our houses of worship and jail clergy and the faithful who resist? That would make for bad visuals, but this crowd might be beyond caring about that. I hope the country is not so far gone to put up with that but, in case it is, then at least we will have obeyed God rather than man, and can trust that God will honor that.
I hate to say it but the left has successfully destroyed a good portion of America’s churches and faith.They’re on their way in turning the DNC into the state religion.
That alleged “law professor” Tushnet is an effing idiot! Post WWII, we COMPLETELY REBUILT both Germany and Japan economically, plus assumed 100% of their defense requirements! Now on the other hand, did the USSR do ONE THING positive for Eastern Europe? HELL NO!!!
Seems that the poor churches will be affected even more.
The Tithe is to show our trust in God and love for Him, not mammon.
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
Perhaps tne of the best things that could happen to God’s church is to take the “tax deduction” aspect away and see if God’s promise is true. (It is!)
Conservatives’ dire predictions upon the redefinition/undefinition of marriage has come to nearly full fruition. The fake assurances of the Gaystapo, that they would “never tell churches what to do,” has been predictably shown to be as false as conservatives knew they were from the beginning.
Beatoff O’Rouke’s stance re religion is to piss on it. That is why he is always moving around like he does. Also lets you understand why he is always moving his hands around his body.
Ask ten people under 30 whether they agree with Beto on this.
You won’t like the results.
"If you like your marriage laws, you can keep your marriage laws", he continued.
