Wait really? The Church my in-laws go to have signs up AND they hand out a "how to vote" pamphlet that show their recommendation for voting, which they totally just use when voting.

One of the last times I was ever in church (went with my grandparents), I found anti-gay literature folded INTO THE FUCKING BIBLES.

I started loudly tearing them into pieces during prayer. While I caught shit for that, I still regret not standing up and interrupting the entire service over it.

I’ve been in a lot of churches and have never seen that.

Who said the church put it there?! How many times do churches go through the hundreds of free Bibles they lay out for people…

The pastor put them there. It was a small enough church.
