To be fair the reason I think most of their decisions are strange is probably because I'm an originalist and apart from a few big names on the liberal side that's mainly a right wing point of view when it comes to judicial stuff.



With any luck they'll lose tax-exempt status if they want to get more politically involved.

Best way to have the Republicans to turn on it is to have tax exempt mosques go publically political.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

America's really moving in the right direction. You can't be the Greatest Nation under God if God isn't allowed freedom of speech!

In all seriousness though, if companies are people, why not churches? Yes, they don't pay taxes, but as the president's tax documents probably show, neither do a lot of American citizens. So why not?

Honestly I wish. Some of these churches push the boundaries of what I feel should be allowed to be tax-exempt as is. Like mega churches.

Just gotta wait for it. Gotta wait for those Muslims to get in trouble. Geez, Gauth, you should just admit you hate Muslims already. I mean, you already think like those dirty Republicans, even more than those dirty Republicans themselves. :^)

some churches tell their congregation who to vote for, same shit i suppose.

They might not. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/politics/ ... index.html. It seems that the text of the order says that they get to keep their tax-exempt status.

How would the Muslims get in trouble? The order also allows them to donate and become more politically involved as well.

The odd thing here is most churches I know of are already against porn, and many members of many Christian churches already protest at Pro-Life rallies and whatnot already, sooo...I don't understand why this part, again, is needed? Are people going to stand-up in church now and testify to how Trump has changed their lives?

I know one Church got a ton of shit for that.

One Church in Sacramento area I think once got shut down because of spreading a hateful political message, too, as that was also not allowed (Or, the people that were in charge of the property weren't a fan of their church being used for hate)

Well, no, I'm pointing-out Gauth is perpetually waiting for people to go after Muslims. I understand the bit you're speaking about.
