The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

[MTK]

If organized religion wants to keep flexing their influence into politics, let them pay taxes. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest organizations in the world and they don't exactly have a very transparent financial track record. And guess what, the Vatican has investments in some of the biggest companies in the world. Let's not pretend their hands are clean.

503(c) organizations whether its a church, temple, mosque etc overwhelming provide services for the needy.

Theres been exactly one religious organization that had its designation pulled and thats bc it paid for ads saying dont vote for Bill Clinton because hes the devil.

Seems theres a lot of politics from the pulpit (both sides) but that doesnt bother me. Evangelicals want to flock to a preacher touting Invermectin and to not get the vaccine and that liberals are the devil and indoctrinating the youth with perversion blah blah blah .. go ahead. Fill that pew with like minded people .. do your thing.

If far right intellectuals want to gather and circle jerk to trump ... go for it. spend those Sundays complaining about liberals being whiny and snow flakes.
