I am so pissed off right now. Listening to Trump you would think that we are a nation of nothing but Christians. Churches should NOT be allowed to give political opinions. If they do, they should lose their tax exempt status. Period!
Now...this asshole is signing orders that will allow churches to express their political beliefs. What the hell has happened to our country?!!!
I don't recognize my country anymore!
Why don't we just go ahead and get it over with and become a Theocracy?
-P
ON EDIT: No one in this country is limiting churches....you just can't express political preferences.
ON EDIT 2: This issue is a pet peeve of mine. We are moving away from the benefits of reason and fair play. I am nauseous.
ON EDIT 3: Where are the Dems?!!! Who is there to at least express outrage on what this President is doing to our country?
ON EDIT 4: The only people I see actively fighting this insanity is Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren...I know that there are others...but they stand out.

Yes, there are forces in this country that want it to be a theocracy.

We walked out of the church and when I came home I wrote a letter to the priest and told him why we were leaving the church. I also told him that if he wants to talk politics during Mass, give up his tax exempt status. Have never gone back.

(11,686 posts)I can not even look at the dripping piece of shit much less hear him. We are losing our freedom of religion. They started with Muslims now they are going to go after all of the other religions. Oh, I might note that it will be the extreme far right who will get all of the rights. Not just other religions are in danger but different sects of Christianity. Lutherans, Episcopalians, Catholics, Methodists, and any other sects who are liberal or moderate in their faith. This going to be a religious blood bath.

(36,457 posts)The dems are acting like it's business as usual on this Russian investigation. They need to start breaking a few rules & air this mess out in public or our government is going to look very different in four years. The dems always play by the rules while the repubs do whatever the fuck they want & now they have their boot on our neck & Trump is taking a sledge hammer to our government. But hey, when they go low, we go high.
