While the Internal Revenue Code allows faith-based groups and other tax-exempt organizations to register voters and to express their views on public issues, the code forbids activities that demonstrate support for a specific political party or candidate. Examples of activities that the IRS considers problematic include inviting a candidate to address a congregation, singling out one candidate for special praise, and highlighting a combination of issues tailored to a candidate’s campaign.

Umm hows that for where I got this crap. It doesn’t say you can’t say what you want. You just have to pay your taxes. And isn’t paying your taxes worth expressing your views.

Cite the code. Link us to the one you are citing that is in line with what the Constitution says concerning Congress’ limitations concerning legislating the type of hogwash you are flipping us?
In case you’ve forgotten the first amendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
if the IRS is using a law to discriminate against Christians, or any other religious group for that matter they are in violation of the US Constitution and it’s 1st amendment and or Congress is in violation of the 1st amendment if they authorized the IRS to impose such restrictions. Far as I can remember we have never had a Constitution Convention to rewrite the US Constitution thereby giving you anti-Christians the authority to discriminate against us.

And another thing, I pay my taxes as you say but my freedoms of Religion and of speech isn't contingent upon me paying them. In fact I had those rights guaranteed to me long before you socialists saw fit to start taxing the citizens of the United States.
My right to worship the God I wish in whatever venue I please be it in public or private trumps your desire to persecute Christians.
