LOL!!

Problem is, we are on to them, and nobody would buy from them.

Good idea, tho!

I studied law and ethics in college!

I studied law. For ethics, I sat in the back of the class and read The Sporting News.

[Tax-chick]

I actually wrote term papers!

[Patton@Bastogne]

In 1954 U.S. Senator L.B. Johnson "spiritually castrated" America's Christian Churches.

It's a perfectly accurate picture. Bloody, painful, loss (surrender) of "spiritual power".

Is that image too graphic or intense for you ?

Too bad. I'm just the messenger.



Exactly how did LBJ "spiritually castrate" America's Christian Churches in 1954 ???

He offered them MONEY, MONEY and more MONEY ... billions and billions of dollars for "wonderful" church activies and new programs.

MONEY for new church programs to spread Christ's Gospel in Billy Graham Crusades, "Focus on the Family" radio programs, and giving FREE bibles to the Homeless.

MONEY for great Christian Universities.

MONEY for Missionary teams to Hatii and Russia.

MONEY for Moody Bible University and it's network of radio programs.



"FREE" Money ... all in exchange for IRS 501-C3 Church Tax Exempt Status.



Read (later) about the Johnson Amendment of 1954.

The upside is that if this happens, many churches will go into the streets. What we Freepers have known will then be known to people who aren't particularly political.

I look forward to the day when THOUSANDS of believers descend upon city halls and state houses to protest this bullying of churches by government.

Bookmarked.

Thanks for the info.

First they came for the bakers, then they came for the florists, then they came for the photographers, then they came for the pizza parlor owners, then they came for the churches . . .

We patronize a used car lot owned by the brother of a County Commissioner. Our recent purchase of a 2000 Toyota Avalon had some problems, and they took care of most of the costs ... what with Anoreth and Bill having some beers with the owner and explaining who we were ...

And on other said, the mechanic involved is Mexican and knew me from church.

Why would this be? How is this different than a church opposing abortion?

That never hurts. Small communities do have certain advantages.

[tbw2]

Imagine the social security and inheritance fights with multiple spouses - and the child custody fights when three partners can out vote the biological parents on the upbringing of a child in a group marriage.

[tbw2]

But how do they solve it as a state issue, when homosexual couple married in one state moves and then says we need to divorce in another? (This is a case in Texas now, where they want recognition of the marriage in a state that doesn’t so they can divorce.)

[freebilly]

A Modest Proposal-- Regarding the opinion of Obama's mouthpiece, the intellectual giant Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, that religious institutions may lose tax-exempt status if SCOTUS rules in favor of gay marriage:

It has become increasingly clear that Christians, like Native Americans, cling to traditions and beliefs out of step with mainstream America. Christians, therefore, should be treated like Native Americans. Lands should be set aside for Christians who are the inheritors to the title of "the tribes of Israel", and upon those lands Christian culture and tradition shall rule supreme. Just as Native Americans are allowed to fish year round without the necessity of procuring license or permit, Christians should be allowed to provide or not provide cakes, flowers, chairs or pizzas for weddings without complying with US Federal Government dictates on "Tribal" grounds.

Native Americans have their Casinos and sell cigarettes free of Federal Government taxation. Christians, too, should therefore be allowed to run their Friday Night Methodist Bingo Games and Annual Knights of Columbus Crabfeeds and Chickenques, so long as they do so on land set aside for such purposes, in Quonset Huts erected for followers of Christ, the way they are for the followers of The Great Sky Father.

Naturally, just as on Native American Reservations, Christians shall be responsible for policing themselves, and if Christians want to keep local police authorities, who are looking for some clergyman accused of a sex offense with an altar boy, off their land, that shall be their perogative in the same fashion that the Pomo tribes of California prevent the local constabulary from searching the Quonset huts of the Great Pomo Nation for those Native Americans who murder taxi drivers and rob liquor stores....

[Logical me]

Ah! Isn't King Obama’s communists empire really killing America. I wonder how many religious voters went for King Obama in 2012 because of Romney. You get what you voted for so suck it up.

[Publius]

It has become increasingly clear that Christians, like Native Americans, cling to traditions and beliefs out of step with mainstream America. Christians, therefore, should be treated like Native Americans.

In Robert Heinlein's "Future Histories", that's exactly what happened. It was called Coventry, and those who could not adjust to the new order were sent to live there.

[freebilly]

Naturally, the equating of Christians with Native Americans should continue until the former are reduced by the Federal Government to the levels of economic, intellectual, and spiritual poverty as the formerly Great Indian Tribes of American landmass....

[freebilly]

I need to read it.

[Publius]

The “Future Histories” are a series of books and short stories that he wrote over a 30 year period. Toward the end of his life in the 1980’s, he built a chronology for each element.
