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?

It's a little more complicated than that. The Democrats are proposing that contributors to churches will not be able to take a deduction against their income tax for their tithes and contributions. This may hurt the income of churches.

Then don’t worry about the deduction. What is more important — the deduction or religious freedom?

This is a hill I am willing to die on — literally. When the First Amendment goes, then for me the deal is off. Without the foundation of the First Amendment, there is nothing else, and America will have become a sham.

Unless people start pushing back somewhere, and making the necessary sacrifices, the repression will never end. The Left will never stop until it has remade the whole country in its own sick twisted image. I would hope that there is enough spunk in dedicated religious people to give the Left a taste of the whirlwind.
