How about mosques?
Churches are going to lose tax-exempt status because they’re Christian.
America’s Liberal and Marxist Satanists are deliberately destroying both religion and the church.
It can’t end well.
let them close the churchs....let the religious universities go further bland in their spirituality....most of them already are anyway....
let us follow our faith the way the early Christians did....quietly in small groups....
they will know us by our love....
Well they could say they’re busy those days ....
Churches should give up their tax-emptions to get ahead of this.
Sadly, most won’t.
Better to lose tax status than salvation.
Just asking; would family plan health insurance have to pay a higher premium because of the health risk of two gay male marital partners?
Equating homosexual unions with interracial marriage is unbelievably repulsive to interracial couples such as ours. However this Court will likely see differently.
Its going to be an issue.
The pope’s more interested in global warming anyway.
stick to your guns and force the pink booted fedgov to come and enforce it
Separation of church & state. Freedom of religion. Some religious sects may accept gay couples. Others who do not, do not have to in my opinion.
Individuals are free to think, believe, speak and refuse service according to their conscience. I don’t care that the secular government is issuing licenses to gay couples. Live and let live.
This is the read line, folks.
That would be fine by me. I don’t it serves anyone’s interest to have churches beholding to the government in any way... and that’s more important now than ever.
It’s going to happen. And headchopper religious bodies will enjoy a different set of rules from normal people.
If anyone wants to know where this leads, look at the civil rights era. The constitutional distortions used to drive racism from the public sphere—a worthy cause—will be used to push the homosexual agenda. We’ve allowed the government to seize nearly unlimited powers in regards to eliminating discrimination, to include even no proven discrimination at all, i.e. disparate impact. If you dare express the view that homosexuality is unnatural or evil, prepare to be ostracized, fined, or worse. It’s coming.
So what? They should be paying taxes on their profits anyway. A church should not be in “business” to make money. Think how much the reverends Al and Jesse and their ilk have bamboozled out of the system. Better yet, end all tax exempt organizations. Why should the local United Way directors and executives be wearing expensive suits and jewelry and driving expensive cars?
Mosques also, I’m assuming. Fair is fair!
There shouldn't have been any exceptions in the first place. Government shouldn't have favorites in a free society but ought to leave the free the market to sort it all out.
