Would you pull out the stops to elect him again if you had it to do over, Cardinal Dolan?

He's nothing but a Laughing Hyena. Of course he would.

Consider this ...

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.

This is actually fine with me.

I have often wondered how these propaganda machines which perpetuate myths and amass millions and billions of dollars, including priceless real estate and artworks could possibly enjoy tax-exempt status.

Call me what you will, but that's the way I look at it.

There was a Legal Wonk from our side on Bill Bennett that warned of this can of worms and the lawsuits against halls of faith who refuse.

This is the destruction of our Judeo-Christian Nation.

Exactly.

I've noticed an odd sense of detachment among many Christians in this country over "gay marriage," and I finally figured out what is driving it.

Most committed Christians see marriage as a religious institution and simply don't give a flaming sh!t about what any government thinks about it.

Another argument FOR the FairTax!

FairTax does not distinguish between not-for-profit and for-profit organizations: Under FairTax, NO business organizations pay federal taxes. They, if they sell a product at retail, merely collect the FairTax and send it to the collection agency. If they are not in a retail business, there is no taxable activity; ergo, churches are tax-FRee with respect to the collection plate.

These SCOTUS rulings may actually be of some benefit to us!

If there was ANY doubt that the goal is to wipe out Christianity in America, this Ruling was the icing on the cake.

Sex deviates DO NOT BELONG IN ANY CHURCH, and now that Muslims and Sharia Law are going to be next to take front row seats in America, EVERY Christian church should give up their Tax Exempt Status, and stick to their Principles.

We don't need faggots/dykes in our churches, as they have chosen to violate God's and Nature's Laws.

Internal Revenue Service regulations could be modified to remove non-profit status for churches across the country.

Not such a bad thing. Those churches would no longer be havens of the 'wealth preachers', would be biblical in that they would then render unto Caesar and would then be free to criticize those who rule over us.

You could have said that the FairTax does all that, EV, and more.

Perhaps because you live in Canada where they support gay marriage?
