Posted By Aidenag 10 months, 3 weeks ago in Religion

During the election, the Mormon Church pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the push to ban same-sex marriage in California -- a campaign that deprived people in a different state [from where the church is based] of a fundamental civil right.

    The Mormon church needs to be taxed and taxed heavily. While were at it there are many Evangelical churches that could be taxed for political interventionism as well.

      Make sure to add Pat Robertson and his 700 club to the list. Cant imagine all the tax free dollars he gets from sponsors and donations from that piece of crap.

        There is the liberal hate speech. If they do not like what someone has to say then they try to eliminate that person or group. Freedom of speech only if it fits in with their beliefs.

        Censorship is the real watchword with these people. However they always couch it in terms of the speakers or group overstepping their bounds.

        Fairness Doctrine to kill talk shows because their Air America failed their agenda. People did not want to listen to those liberal hosts. That means that the system is unfair to them so they have to fix it so only they will have a voice.

        Churches step out and speak on their beliefs on things being voted on. That is horrendous to liberals because they really hate religions. Never mind that the constitution has freedom of speech amendment and the establishment clause to prevent the government making a single religion the rule of the land. These people never think about the fact that atheism can be considered a religion.

            Exactly.

            Conservative Churches, put your money where your (big political) mouth is.

            And Endo, as usual, you are full of baloney.

            The Mormon Church, by working to deny a target group of American citizens' rights, are the ones engaged in "hate speech."

            I am most definitely not an atheist, Endo, and I tell you Christian brother to Christian brother that persecuting homosexuals violates Gods will for us and the SPECIFIC teachings of our Lord and Savior. There is nothing atheist in this. I'm saying, as a Christian man, that the churches who do this, and their support organs, like the Knights of Columbus, will reap what they sow.

            Now explain to me, please, how having no belief is the same as having one?

            All churches should be taxed. They want to control government, we can't stop them, but we should tax them.
