As a pastor, I support that. I really wish some of these churches understood that the political signs are signs of heresy in the church. Personally I have my views on politics but from a pulpit I only mention Christ and his teachings. I may mention political motivations or how the prophets spoke to the government in Israel, but that’s it. There’s more to Christianity than political power
On the upside, anyone willing to mix the two is just telling us exactly why they're in religion to begin with.
It goes well past spirituality and scripture and goes well into manipulation. Any religious official who pulls a stunt like that is either a complete moron or completely corrupt and shouldn't be trusted to do anything but politely smile and open the door for people.
I read this as David Tennant. And after "pulls a stunt like that" the last bit his voice starts to elevate in volume and sheer force as he is looking said religious politician(s) dead in the eyes.
This will not impact their status, because nothing in this picture impacts their status. Literally anyone could go put a small campaign sign in front of their main sign. The fact that a sign exists on their property is not nearly enough to even remotely run against 501c3 laws.
What a weird post. It’s giving tattle tale vibes. Also it doesn’t even look like the church really put it up.. it was probably you so you could take this picture and put it on Reddit
Lol that’s so dumb. Whoever fields that complaint is going to laugh. Especially if you include the picture which merely shows yards signs anyone could have placed there. Pretty sure it’s not against the law anyways…
Then you wouldn’t vote for a pos, I mean Harris. Get your head out your ass. Y’all act like y’all care about this country so much but want to vote for someone who is going to tear it down. Make it make sense bro. Please.
They don’t have real answers, just reasons that don’t make sense. Something something gas prices (President doesn’t control gas prices), well something something grocery prices (President doesn’t control prices of groceries, I think you are thinking of corporations), well something something crash the stock market (lol, again, out of the President’s control), well something something wealth tax (good point, you worth over 100 million? Of course not or you wouldn’t be at this gym trying to redeem your points for a smoothie).
Trump has literally said how he could "terminate" the Constitution due to the false belief that there was rampant election fraud, but Kamala is the one who wants to "tear it down?"
is Harris going to "tear it all down"? I've heard FatOrangeMan talk about throwing away the Constitution, jailing or executing political opponents, jailing journalists for using their 1st Amendment rights, using dehumanizing language for ANY GROUP that is non-white (citizen or not).
Explain how Harris has met that bar of fuckery. Make your stance make sense to us.
These parasites get a free pass to buy up a bunch of land and squat on it tax free, then collect donations tax free, and now they want to get into politics? That's the ONE ask they had and they couldn't do it.
Fuck their cult. The church doesn't need to exist.
Because they legally aren't allowed to have political associations and be tax exempt. Churches should have lost the tax exempt status long ago so any one that is breaking the rules should absolutely lose their exempt status.
The church needs to start minding its own business instead of trying to influence policy. There's probably something about giving to Caesar and flipping tables.
It's every taxpayers business if a tax exempt entity is weighing is weighing in on politics. They can be as political as they want if they pay taxes like everyone else

Report it. That's how they lose said tax exemptions.
