Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits… So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.

Churches have always had the right to endorse, but they have been expected to pay tax like any other business if they do. Since most have been in violation for decades now, and the distinction cannot be enforced. It is time to revoke this law altogether regarding churches. Make them pay tax.

End tax exempt status for all churches. It’s long overdue. Let them run themselves as a non-profit and avoid taxes by actually doing good deeds in their community. You know, heal the sick, feed the poor, comfort the homeless and all that “woke” Jesus stuff instead of building mansions for pastors.

Going to be difficult to argue that this doesn't apply to every tax-exempt organization. 'Unintended consequences' may be the only law the Repubs aren't able to subvert.

Obama and Biden could have agreed with the democratic voters of many states and ended the unconstitutional prohibition. They didn’t feel that the voters, nor the constitution, were reason enough to disagree with Christian Prohibitionists. And America dies.

No, the difference is, we are giving people choices in how they want to live their lives and making the playing field level. You want to promote one idea of how people should live and discriminate against anyone whose lifestyle you don't like.

Even during or after the most egregious, evil acts committed by their party (GOP), the evangelicals look the other way or lie, because the federal gov't doesn't tax them ($ doesn't serve others), and the GOP helps facilitate their agenda: to deconstruct and destroy democracy, creating a theocracy.
