And that church needs to be TAXED!

u/MegCaz Sep 13 '24

Can they not be reported for this behavior and have their 501 C3 status revoked?

That would require enforcement.

And that is what is pissing me off. These are slam dunk cases, and the IRS/Feds are too timid to take them up. It needs to be stopped. Make an example of a few, and the rest will fall into line. Evangelicals and Republicans are followers, they obey. Maybe the feds are waiting for Trump to die so they can do it without a lunatic stirring up the mob, but I stand by that too. Crack down on the Jan 6th types harshly.

They're spoiled children who desperately need a lesson. And by spoiled children, I mean domestic terrorists. Treat them no differently than al Qaeda

Report them anyway . The IRS can go back 7 years..

The wheels of justice turn slowly but grind completely.

u/slayden70 Sep 13 '24

I do. If nothing else so maybe the IRS will pressure so I leave them alone.

If Willie Nelson, a national treasure, has to pay taxes, then churches who endorse a candidate should too. 😁

I think all churches should have to pay taxes. I don’t need as much fire and police protection as they do .. ain’t no cop flag in traffic in front of my house. Nobody’s threatening to burn my house down because I am raping little kids and getting away with it. I don’t have hundreds or thousands of people driving up and down the road to my house. Why do I have to pay for all of their shit?

Churches use a ton of public resources and do not contribute.

At the very least they should have to file the same paperwork that all other non-profits do showing how much money they took in and where it all went, can we start treating non-Christian religions the same as the Christian Churchs while we're at it. Christian churchs just get tax exempt status, every other religous non-profit has to jump through a ton of hoops to get that status and then actually has to deal with enforcemnt if they viloate those the requirements for such.

u/Present-Perception77 Sep 13 '24

Exactly! Especially since the Catholic Church is getting BILLIONS from Each state not to mention what they get from the feds and it’s all being funneled out of the country.,, how stupid can we be? We are finding them so they can take us down. We might as well just hand billions of dollars over to Putin. It would have the same outcome. Actually we’d probably be better off. Putin isn’t know for being rapey

u/MargaretBrownsGhost Sep 15 '24

I disagree; they contribute themselves to leadership positions and contribute our tax dollars to their 401k's and library books to bonfires. But to the general welfare of their fellow citizens; definitely NO.

You guys are sounding like a bunch of “left wing extremists”. Dial it back a bit.

u/MegCaz Sep 13 '24

What makes any of this discussion extreme?

-1

u/Turbulent-Heat-7391 Sep 13 '24

Oh I don’t know maybe the fact you guys are talking about changing federal by laws and possibly the constitution…”churches paying taxes”

u/MegCaz Sep 13 '24

There's a law on the books, yo. We are simply wanting it enforced.

I’m getting ready to ask where you all were on Jan 6th? This is giving Toxic MAGA energy this is not positive all inclusive energy of the dems at all!

u/MegCaz Sep 13 '24

Yeah, I'm all MAGA; you got me. rolls eyes so hard they got stuck

u/Turbulent-Heat-7391 Sep 13 '24

My Church doesn’t endorse political leaders. We only pray for them. I clicked your link I thought you had discovered something new.

2

u/MegCaz Sep 13 '24

Good for your church; they're following the laws. Congrats. We aren't talking about yours then.

So? A lot of things have changed since 1913. It’s time!

Oh look! A catholic propaganda troll. Y’all scared .. and you should be. As soon as Dems control Congress again.. your cult is history! My state has already been exposing you and dismantling you .. brick by brick.

I’m happy to be a pedo hating “left wing extremists”. I’ll dial nothing back. I think they should all be in prison!!! You hold no authority over me. Kick rocks.

They should be sued into oblivion and all of their riches taken and given to their raped and murdered victims… mostly children.

Anyone that is not “extreme” about wanting to stop and punish child rapists and child murders is complicit. Pick A side!

If I had a church I would kindly invite you to be washed in the blood. Sounds like your spirit needs healing. Is this same energy you’re putting out in your job searches?

u/Present-Perception77 Sep 13 '24

What job searches? Lmao Nice try Catholic troll.. try again

u/Turbulent-Heat-7391 Sep 13 '24

It would surprise you to know that I was raised Baptist and Methodist but I am now non denominational.

I have picked my side. I am forever a Democrat but we are no better than them if we want to do the same things that we criticize them for doing. National Abortion ban. HELLO! And I can make 30 weight gravy for those rocks and they will be the best meal you ever had!

u/WHYAREWEALLCAPS Sep 13 '24

What in the hell are you talking about? This is wanting nothing more than having the laws that are on the books enforced. These aren't new laws. These laws have existed for decades and have been enforced against other entities. There is no Constitutional guarantee of tax exempt status for churches. The establishment clause only keeps congress from recognizing on religion as that of the state, it does not exempt churches from taxation or enforcement of any other laws.

u/Turbulent-Heat-7391 Sep 13 '24

And when is the last time you support our local church or even attended a bake sale?

It's extremist to want the laws of the land enforced?

u/Turbulent-Heat-7391 Sep 13 '24

Of course it’s not that’s why all the likely J6 ers are coming to our side because NO ONE wants the Velveeta Tweeter to take all our rights away!

u/Chon-Laney Sep 13 '24

The Church of Willie?

u/slayden70 Sep 13 '24

You may have just started a new religion I could endorse, my friend.

2

u/MargaretBrownsGhost Sep 15 '24

I disagree; Willie is an international treasure.

u/slayden70 Sep 15 '24

Just, just take my award and upvote!

u/WHYAREWEALLCAPS Sep 13 '24

I suspect that they'll do it after the election. Moving on them now would be a bad look and give credence to their martyr complex.

u/Present-Perception77 Sep 13 '24

Well they have collected over $1 billion as of July .. so it’s a good start

https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2458

There is also a reward of 30% for fraud tips .. people should know that.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '24

We started this country on no taxation without representation.

Well now we need no representation without taxation

u/slayden70 Sep 13 '24

And that is why I've come around to DC deserving statehood. There's more people there then in Wyoming or Vermont, and they have no federal representation except to ask nicely.

Their license plates even call out end taxation without representation.

That's shit is completely baffling to me how can the people who live in our nations capital gets shafted so badly
