messing with churches source of income? no bueno
The churches housing undocumented migrants and fighting to give them sanctuary aren't the megachurches you're alluding to. The church I belonged to while living in the US was housing an undocumented family, and the finances of the church were open to all members so I can assure you we weren't getting any income for doing it.
This has nothing to do with money. Traditionally churches have been able to provide sanctuary to people from LEO. Trump has violated this.
Yeah, add division between whose who fight these reforms. That's exactly what the people in America needs.
You’ve apparently never heard of a thing called sanctuary.
Yep, churches are disgraceful
Go experience the real world. Many churches are just people trying to do the best they can and aren’t evil.
No, many of the people may be well meaning, but the church itself and the religion it represents are evil.
Again go experience the real world. Im not religious but I know a lot if really good people who are and their churches aren’t currently evil.
Buddy, I grew up in that world and know it intimately.
You know ALL the faiths? Seriously put your phone down and unplug.
What the fuck does that have anything to do with being on the phone? I truly cannot figure out how the two things are related in any way... Sounds like you're stereotyping irreligious people as low information, terminally online, losers.
The conversation is about "churches" in the context of an article about US politics. So I was referring to Christianity, not "all the faiths." What a ridiculous straw man.
I understand you think churches are “good” based on what? Maybe community? So pay taxes then , what does a priest or pastor really do accept give counsel or average , novice therapy?
Yes, “income”, like food pantries, donated clothing, other assistance to the needy. Any person should be allowed to worship in peace, and any person should be allowed basic necessities from a charity without fear.
No one is raiding charities for wealthy donors
Yeah, leave the poor churches and their tax-exempt status alone!!
