So we are going to have our houses of worship desecrated by the presence of spies? So let them listen.
Maybe hearing all that preaching will get them saved.

Im not seeing the big deal here.
I think it's more of a tax implication for churches themselves than donors to those churches.
The endgame here seems to be to reclassify certain religious doctrines commonly preached from the pulpit as 'political speech'...so it can be regulated to the point where those institutions can no longer claim their religious exemption.
It's not like the IRS can be considered an objective 'monitor' here in any way, shape, or form here either. I can see this having impact on the 1st amendment.

Ridiculous, meaning the IRS and atheists. Sounds like the IRS is still hip-deep in conservatism and religiosity suppression through "other means".
To: jazusamo
If they are going to monitor churches, they need to monitor ALL churches, including those run by the likes of Rev. Wright. We will see if the IRS pulls his tax exempt status.

Well, being Catholic, we hear about normal marriage and the right to life every week. I guess we are political criminals. I am happy to be among the partisans.

Hopefully this pathetic lawsuit will come back to bite her and those RATS in the butt.

Wanna shut the atheists down?
Help us get the FairTax passed!
Oh, by the way, FairTax also shuts down the IRS!

501c3 status is a governmental establishment of religion, which is a violation of the explicit words of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
To: EternalVigilance
I know that, EV, but rather than fighting that battle, I choose to support FairTax, which will restore the First Amendment to non-profits.

Since when did we lose our freedom of speech?It was lost a long time ago. When, I don't know, but certainly long before I was born.

Since when did we lose our freedom of speech? Since the day Obama stood on the Capitol steps and swore before God and man to protect and obey the Constitution of the United States.
You know, that old scrap of yellowed paper that no president before or since Reagan has ever taken time to read.

I am happy to be among the partisans. And I'm a Baptist who's happy to stand beside you.
If our Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion is lost, and IMHO it will eventually come to that, the United States we love and cherish will fade away into history just as every other great nation through out history that defied God's laws has. No entity on earth, neither man nor nation, can spit in God's eye and continue to live and prosper for very long, and the US is rapidly nearing the limit that He will tolerate.
