Yeah, because that's the exact same thing.Sports celebrities and hollywood actors do it all the time. I am not sure why preachers should be banned from having an opinon. We do have a separation of church and state right?
How is it different?Yeah, because that's the exact same thing.

It's illegal for tax exempt churches to be involved in the political process, no such law exists for celebrities, hence the "separation" of church and state..How is it different?
Dammit Pada!! I was kinda hoping that he'd figure it out on his own. That's why I just repeated his own words. How else is he going to learn, man???It's illegal for tax exempt churches to be involved in the political process, no such law exists for celebrities, hence the "separation" of church and state..
He's not...too busy watching Fox Snooze.Dammit Pada!! I was kinda hoping that he'd figure it out on his own. That's why I just repeated his own words. How else is he going to learn, man???
they are free to speak for whatever candidate they want, they just can't do that and enjoy tax free status.So you knuckleheads think the separation of church and state means that Pastors have their freedom of speech infringed?
No wonder you have no clue about reality.
I'm right here, ready and able.they are free to speak for whatever candidate they want, they just can't do that and enjoy tax free status.
you clearly don't get how any of this works.
if you need a liberal to explain these simple things to you, just let us know.
The separation of state is a prohibition on GOVERNMENT... Just like the bill of rights is a document of prohibitions and limitations of the GOVERNMENT, not of the people.Your own words:
I'm mostly talking about protestant churches. The catholic church is greedy and they worship power, control, and wealth. History will prove this. Catholic church has murdered more Christians than all other religions and governments combined.Does more than pay bills and return to the community Vatican City is the richest city on earth. Pastor's have nice houses and cars etc..
Shouldn't a pastor be paid for his work? How much they get paid is decided by the churchs population and is decided by the church deacons who vote on it. Pastor Joel Olsteen(the meme) pastors a church of like 3,000. And they give millions to charities. That's oneof the largest churches in America. Some pastors are actually dirt broke. It is true that money corrupts some pastors. They are still human. Jesus said money is the route to all evil.
Exactly how much is 10% of a mansion and a private jet?Pastors are required to pay tithe to. 10%.
Show me exactly where and when Jesus said this please.. Jesus said money is the route to all evil.
Sure they should be paid but when you are paid for a service that is taxable income. Not sure what my local church is but they just spent millions on the new church tax free. I also know a few people who go there and the church is very generous but they won't help you unless you are a member of the church.Shouldn't a pastor be paid for his work?
