How ironic that Matthew Yglesias is speaking out against churches. I think one of the common Spanish words for Church would be the word IGLESIAS.

Odd, but they don’t say anything about taxing mosques along with churches.

Just an accidental oversight, I presume.

This was inevitable.

Most ‘churches’ out there are vanity projects for ‘preachers’ with God complexes...who preach doctrines of homosexuality and the DNC platform.

And people still have not woken up to the fact that it was done intentionally, bu the DNC/Libs for this very purpose. People of faith had the ultimate scam ran on them and they welcomed it due to their very faith.

The catholic faith leadership refuses to condemn and excom pols like Pelosi/homosexual pushing followers, The Baptists and other protestant faiths have split 8 ways to Wednesday over political hot issues...

And now, powerless to do anything, their unity broken, the Dem/Libs who engineered it go for the killing blow.

Perhaps if the leaders had stuck to their biblical teachings and held wrong to account, they would not be in a mess of their own making.

And it really upsets me .

The assault on America’s churches has begun, with commentators like Dylan Matthews of the Washington Post and Matthew Yglesias of Slate calling on the government to tax churches.

I don't see why Bill Gates doesn't get more criticism from the right. He's the one who founded and funds Slate. I think it would be ridiculous to think that it doesn't really reflect Bill Gate's thinking.

They know we will not do anything.

They are in a full court press now that they face the weakest generation the US has yet produced.

These people are confused. The doctrine of separation of church and state is not just about keeping the church from using the power of government to foist itself on the people; it is also about keeping the government from using its power against the church.

Of course, these people may not be confused at all. They may well be wanting to use the power of government to remove the church as a independent institution and make it subservient to the state. Totalitarians of all stripes (Nazis, Communists, etc.) do this as a matter of course.

It’s Time For Activisim

If FR’s really want to do somethibng about this.Church goers and true believers should start up your printers and when you go to services print up a batch and tuck a copy of the summary provided by 2nd Div vet under the windshield wipers in the church parking lot. Likewise pass em out in your precinct.

If “separation of Church and State” is to be the law of the land then it has to work both ways. Taxing the church is a violation of the constitution.

“upgrading a church’s physical plant doesn’t enhance the soul-saving capacity of its clergy.”

Judas thought the same way.

Hey, Jeff Bezos is doing a great job with the Post. Kinda makes you want to boycott Amazon.

New Mexico Supreme Court decision to force religious photographers to cover same-sex weddings

If I were 'forced' to photograph a wedding or bake a cake for one, it would be truly memorable. Nothing in focus, heads cut off, etc. The cake would be inedible, and have the scent of homosexual sex.

Charity.
The only time and money and items I give in charity are ones that I KNOW I CAN CONTROL.
That means through my church. People that I know get help with utility bills during unemployment, food, clothing for children etc. Through Children’s Ministry I learn of kids that I can help support decent, moral activities for them to be involved in.
The other way in give is through service and help for veterans. But not through Government or National organizations. Through biker rides to directly support 2 VA Hospitals. Through the Patriot Guard to assist and honor veterans and families at passing. Through sponsored biker events to assist wounded warriors get into homes that allow them some mobility. I give thousands of dollars of cash time and items each year. I KNOW that it directly helps people in my Community. The money that the Government takes from me goes to help pay for abortion (I was adopted) help muslims in Countries that are killing our soldiers etc.

If Christians won’t save their own children from the ungodly teaching the children are indoctrinated into every day at school, their masters know they won’t stand up for the freedom of their churches, either. Lazy, weak Christians are no witnesses to Jesus and value “peace” over their faith.

The clause Separation of Church and State was in the Soviet Constitution, not the US Constitution.
