You also just affirmed the suspicion that Liberals do in fact desire this to persecute groups that are opposed to them politically. No wonder you you call the IRS scandal a "phony scandal." You know it's true, and you like it. To you it's not even a scandal, it's justified for the "greater good."

If I ever did this, which I don't, this would be an Ignore button macro...

Well we'll never hafta worry about that.

You're a horribly insipid, narcissistic hack and an asshole who has no friends.

Yep, I got my letter. A top priority is removing their tax-exempt status.

Of course that's the top priority of a Marxist like yourself:

"The power to tax involves the power to destroy," Chief Justice John Marshall

To have your Marxist utopia, you must destroy those who acknowledge the Old Testament.

Although, I must ask, will you also prevent Muslims from practicing their faith?

hell no ! Princess lookcolder, is a muslime, or a muslime sympathizer.

The article doesn't say a thing about Christians. But churches. It would apply as fully to Muslims as Christians or Scientologists.

Muslims don't have churches, they have mosques. Currently, churches are being burned down by ISIS as they get rid of the Christians, either by death or forcing them to run.

Convert, Leave, or Pay a Tax, which is actually one more option than the Catholics gave to the Jews. Their options were Convert or Leave, before it became Convert or Die...

IRS reportedly strikes deal with atheists | Latest News Videos | Fox News

IRS Strikes Deal With Atheists to Target Religious Political Activity | Fox News Insider

Let the Hammer Fall Upon the Righteous as the Sickle Cuts them Down.

Communism begins from the outset (Owen) with atheism.

- Karl Marx​

The Internal Revenue Service has reached a so-called “secret agreement” with atheists to probe churches and religious groups’ political activity.


Shannon Bream joined Martha MacCallum on America’s Newsroom today and explained that this resulted from the Freedom From Religion Foundation's lawsuit against the IRS, which alleged the agency wasn’t doing its job to monitor that churches with tax-exempt status were not engaging in political activity.

In fact, might as well drop a Great Quote:

Vladimir Lenin similarly wrote regarding atheism and communism: "A Marxist must be a materialist, i. e., an enemy of religion, but a dialectical materialist, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the class struggle which is going on in practice and is educating the masses more and better than anything else could."[2]
The atheism in communist regimes has been and continues to be a form of militant atheism which led to various acts of repression, including the razing of thousands of religious buildings and the killing, imprisoning, and oppression of religious leaders and believers.[3]
The persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union was the result of the violently atheist Soviet government. In the first five years after the October Revolution, 28 bishops and 1,200 priests were murdered, many on the orders of Leon Trotsky. When Joseph Stalin came to power in 1927, he ordered his secret police, under Genrikh Yagoda to intensify persecution of Christians. In the next few years, 50,000 clergy were murdered, many were tortured, including crucifixion. "Russia turned red with the blood of martyrs", said Father Gleb Yakunin of the Russian Orthodox Church.[4] According to Orthodox Church sources, as many as fifty million Orthodox believers may have died in the twentieth century, mainly from persecution by Communists.[5]
In addition, in the atheistic and communist Soviet Union, 44 anti religious museums were opened and the largest was the 'The Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism' in Leningrad’s Kazan cathedral.[6] Despite intense effort by the atheistic leaders of the Soviet Union, their efforts were not effective in converting the masses to atheism.[7][8]
China is a communist country. In 1999, the publication Christian Century reported that "China has persecuted religious believers by means of harassment, prolonged detention, and incarceration in prison or `reform-through-labor' camps and police closure of places of worship." In 2003, owners of Bibles in China were sent to prison camps and 125 Chinese churches were closed.[9] China continues to practice religious oppression today.[10] According to Asian Economic News, in 2004 the atheistic and communist government of China had an internal document which directed the Chinese media to promote atheism, instructed internet media to remove user comments that advocate alternative spiritual views, and called for a ban on publications that disseminate religious material out of step with Marxism or atheism.[11] The efforts of China's atheist leaders in promoting atheism, however, is increasingly losing its effectiveness and the number of Christians in China is explosively growing.[12][13] China's state sponsored atheism and atheistic indoctrination has been a failure and a 2007 religious survey in China indicated that only 15% of Chinese identified themselves as atheists.[14]
North Korea is a repressive communist state and is officially atheistic.[15] The North Korean government practices brutal repression and atrocities against North Korean Christians

FINALLY A FOX NEWS THREAD!

No you are solid! LOL! You know everything now! LOL! That the 1 person that owns that industry wants you and your scared to death friends to know.

We The People can see past a Corporation trying to sell itself as a "Conservative" media when it is generally Corporate based and will side with $ all day.

AWESOME POST lmao

absolutely

just read what they post

or listen to what they say

and it becomes apparent that


the left declared war on America

they declared war in Christians

They declared war on women

and just about anyone who does not

march in lockstep with their views

 

[House]

When a religion uses donations for political purposes, its violating the conditions of its tax exempt status.

This is absolutely true.



(Random note: Don't pigeon-hole me based on the fact you agree or disagree with one of my posts. I don't fit under the label "conservative" or "liberal". I prefer making my OWN decisions. That said, don't be surprised if I don't jump to your defense based on your assumptions on what I might think based on what you've read from me on other issues.)

Although, I must ask, will you also prevent Muslims from practicing their faith?

Are Muslims out there trying to influence elections? Then, yes, i am all for yanking their tax exempt status, too.

This is something you guys don't get. Churches should NOT be doing political activity. Social Welfare Agencies shouldn't. If you a claim an exemption and do politics, you are breaking the law.

 

[House]

Churches should NOT be doing political activity. Social Welfare Agencies shouldn't. If you a claim an exemption and do politics, you are breaking the law.

Precisely. It's not a matter of religious discrimination, it's a matter of tax law that applies to every organization operating under 501c3 status.

Ok so the unions are breaking the law then, they all need to be arrested and dismantled.

Church's once upon a time could donate to political campaigns until the paranoid LBJ decided he did not want the Catholics to unseat him.

 

[DriftingSand]

First of all, I'm not surprised that Atheists and the IRS are engaged in underhanded tactics. A slithering snake is as a slithering snake does.

Secondly, there should be no laws prohibiting political activism within the church or anywhere else for that matter. The 1st Amendment protects EVERYONE'S right to freedom of religion AND speech. The IRS has to right to hinder those freedoms. A moral society is defined by its morals and those morals are defined by its citizens, collectively (including Christians and folks of other religions). Our Founding Fathers were primarily Christian and they were politically active. Some of the most moving political speeches were voiced from behind a pulpit.

 

[chikenwing]

It should be a simple ruling. If your whatever is God AND Country, kiss your tax-exempt ass goodbye. God doesn't need your Politics, and Politics doesn't need your God.

The First Amendment only restricts the Congress.

How is it that you construed the first amendment to be a restriction on the People?

This is the IRS, and tax-exempt status. You can say whatever you like but doing so can find you suddenly unable to say "Your contribution is tax-deductible". A church too into politics is no longer a church...

No longer a church?? how so?

A church that is active in environmental issues is no longer a church? One that is active in sports and activities for young adults is no longer a church?

Free speech is free speech for most free thinking people.

No, the unions are governed by a specific chapter and verse concerning their political activity. It includes complete disclosure of the source of their money and a method for union members to opt out if they don't like the political activity.

The Founding Fathers were Deists who didn't really buy the nonsense in the Bible.

Churches get tax exemptions the rest of us don't enjoy.

And they shouldn't be involved in politics if they get that exemption.

Unions are not governed, they are the ones doing the governing.
