Obama Administration Says Non-Profit Status ‘Going to Be an Issue’ for Religious Schools
Daily Signal ^

Posted on 04/28/2015 7:00:00 PM PDT by TigerClaws

s the Obama administration about to wage war on religious schools?

One of the more startling portions of oral arguments today at the Supreme Court was the willingness of the Obama administration’s Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, to admit that religious schools that affirm marriage as the union of a man and a woman may lose their non-profit tax-exempt status if marriage is redefined.

Justice Samuel Alito asked Verrilli whether a religious school that believed marriage was the union of husband and wife would lose their non-profit tax status.

The solicitor general answered: “It’s certainly going to be an issue. I don’t deny that. I don’t deny that, Justice Alito. It is it is going to be an issue.”

...if you donate to your church you will not be able to take a charitable contribution deduction off your taxes...

Bad reason to give.

In homes. In secret.

As in Red China today. And as in Rome in the first century.

Doesn’t work for us anymore anyway. Guess we make too little or the standard deduction is too high—either way charitable donations no longer help on taxes.

Right. I got that. Marriage, but why only marriage. I assume that you have the right to marry and that is why they choose the issue of marriage, but supposedly you have the right to an abortion, so why not that too?

Because the church has to perform any marriage the State allows.

This is coming to EVERY church in America.

Now they admit that they can tell church schools how to instruct on issues of morality.

“They’d destroy the Christian church in America.”

That was the plan from the start.

..... Apparently ... according to this administration ..... It is evil to discriminate because of the color of your skin ... put totally cool and objective ... and within the constitution to discriminate against your religion.

.... All dialogue from this point on until the 2016 day of reckoning, should include statements and quotes that unveil ... and include ... for the first time to MANY .... the power and might of the United States Constitution .... the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND upon which all laws MUST be made in pursuance thereof.

.... The constitution should be that which sets the GOP apart from the Democrats .... who just happen to be those that seek to destroy that sacred bond that melds this great nation together.

.... HEY ..... It's the Constitution STUPID!

Not true. A pastor can refuse to marry anyone. He does not have to give a reason.

He’s made it clear he’s overseeing an all out assault on Christianity- Anyone still in doubt about his claims to be a Christian?

Running the USA like Zimbabwe is the actual real issue.

Those responsible should get a head start on running away while they still can.

Yup.
