He defended his actions, saying "I have a First Amendment right to say whatever I want to say."

I fucking hate americans.

They want to have their cake and eat it too

Well, people should have the right to speak their mind when asked; but this is different. Preaching politics from a religious pulpit when there is supposed to be a distinct separation of Church and State shouldn't be tolerated. They're basically protesting against that by endorsing candidates.

They want to blow their load and eat it too.

Exactly. Either you're a church and are tax-free and stay out of politics. Or you pay taxes and say whatever the hell you want.

"higher purpose" lol

They want to eat dicks and... um... eat it too

I don't see the big deal. If it was any non-religious tax-exempt body (eg- Red Cross) wanting to endorse a particular candidate would it be an issue?

 

[Einherjar86]

That doesn't involve separation of Church and State though.

 

[Matt]

lame

 

[SWAT]

Who cares let them do what they want, it's not like you have to listen to it.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

No, it's problematic on a fundamental level.

The point is, some people do. And they'll actually put stand by "Vote for McCain or you're going to hell"

 

[mutantllama]

Which is ghey.

 

[Omni]

This is just sad.

 

[Xorv]

PRAISE THEM! AND PRAISE HIS ALMIGHTY NAME! MAY THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPEL YOU TO STOP MAKING SUCH AWFUL THREADS. AMEN.

Correct.
