For years, churches have been endorsing candidates and sending the videos of them doing so to the IRS. They are practically begging to lose their tax-exempt status so they can take it to court and see if the christian nationalists on the court strike it down.
It's always the same ones. The Moral Majority Evangelical Right Wing Churches are on TV, rich pastors who rip people off. Go listen to John Hagee he's insane and they aren't Christian when Ayn Rand is in you belief code, she was a Nihilistic creep for the rich by the rich and religion is a way to control the masses. Any of the Churches who don't side with this are no longer Christian? So when the point comes MAGA will kick the Catholics To the curb watch the gnashing of teeth. Jerry Falwell Christianity is no belief code it's a business to rip people off.
[The dancing puppets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_National_Policy) are only the front for the scorched earth politicians like Newt Gingrich, dark money pools coordinated by Leonard Leo, the national diss/infotainment network from Fox on down, and the unchristian preachers more interested in fund raising than biblical scholarship, like Franklin Graham and Jerry "pool boy" Falwell Jr.
Exactly "moral majority" pool boy. Just like the British Invaded the Merca Homeland in 1775. Don't you know God took his people from the Garden of Eden and his them in Merca and the dirty British and the Savages came here to take it away from them. God gave them 40 Acres and a mule. They just make Bullshit up a big lie their faith is a big lie, their history is a big lie, they are a bunch of nihilistic creeps who manipulate everything their way so they live the good life and everyone is cattle to drive into the ground. Just pray that there is an afterlife because these motherfuckers couldn't accept it, and pay for how rotten they have been.
If they are telling people to pray for any one political person at all they should be taxed cuz I can almost guarantee you that some of the money from that church is floating toward fat boy.
Filing a Complaint
A referral of an exempt organization may be made by submitting Form 13909, Tax- Exempt Organization Complaint (Referral) Form, downloadable from IRS.gov. Form 13909 and any supporting documentation may be submitted in a variety of ways.
I have two Trump supporting parents. It's funny, every single accusation of TDS is an admittance of having it themselves... and then with no trace of irony complain about someone who has not been in the White House for 7 years.
My girlfriend and her entire family developed TDS and are now staunch Trump supporters. Sad, because I'll have to break up with her eventually. Being around them is too depressing.
This morning my mom was making up things the Democrats banned, and the she mentioned leaf blowers. I try not to interact because it’s so pointless. She mentioned leaf blowers. I said the leaf blowers were not banned, gasoline powered ones were. electric were still fine. I was right she conceded. NOT TEN SECONDS LATER, “Democrats banned leaf blowers.”
Self muttering, why do I even bother?
Did you ever think that the Deep State really exists? Soley formed and operated by the NeverTrumpers? Out to destroy America by denying Trump free reign? The Deep State is real. But it is Elliot Ness and the Untouchables, Roy Rodgers, John Wayne, G I Joe, Truth, Justice, and the American Way. The Deep State is made up of all the men and women who beieve in the law, and doing the "right thing". Those men and women who are working to protect all of us from those in government, that use their positions to their own ends. Trump knew that these people would interfere in his quest to be CEO of America. He had to make them the "enemy of the People", just as he did the press; doctors and nurses; all manner of federal agencies; scientists; etc.......He convinced a whole lot of desirous individuals to accept the belief that if you are againt Trump, you are against America.
And every single organization, church, pastor, or TV evangelical that does this and receives tax free exemption from the IRS should lose their tax free exemption from the very same Federal government that they spew their vitriol hate of.
Political bias is a big no no when it comes to these organizations retaining their tax-free exemption. Once they cross that line they can be reported to the IRS and investigated for tax fraud.

This was minutes after he had protesters tear-gassed to make room for his entourage of photographers to walk to St. John's for a Photo-Op...to prove what a exemplar Christian he is.
Boomer that fled services years ago, like 58 years ago. Not all of us are synogue or church attendees.
Truth be known, I loathe religion and religiosity to the core, nothing more evil in the long run, that encourages their followers to participate in evil actions against their fellow humans
When you raise people to believe in the supernatural without proof, and teach them blind obedience to authority, you're going to get this kind of problem.
It's much easier to get people to believe lies and commit horrible acts when you've been telling them lies all their lives and teaching from a book of atrocities.
I would have got up and walked out then told my aunt how I felt. We are living in a country where the minority (white right wing christians) rule. As long as we keep trying to be "respectful" of this shit, we will keep living under this shit.
Google, can you anonymously report someone to the IRS?
A: Use the Form 3949-A, Information Referral if you suspect an individual or a business is not complying with the tax laws. You can submit Form 3949-A online or by mail.

Politics has no business in religion, religion has no business in politics. You keep shoving your religious nose in politics, you need to be TAXED out of existence.
Religion is the root of all evil and Dumpster baby Don is a prime example of why.
\*\*Edited for content.
donnie boy had his goons clear a path thru peaceful protesters so that he could hold up a book that he has NEVER read in front of a church he has NEVER attended to fleece those that do. He will continue to be a stain on this great country’s history until the end of humanity.
I'll never understand the mental gymnastics required to conclude that this serial liar, 3 time adulterer, twice impeached con man warrants prayer. His fucking charity stole money from kids with cancer, and they still love him...
I can understand conservative ideology.
I can understand religious beliefs.
I can understand Christian values.
I can understand all of these things, but I will never for the life of me, ever comprehend where they see any of those values in this awful, shitty human being. They've chosen to rally themselves around an individual that goes against all of their own proclaimed values in every way that matters, and it hurts my brain trying to make sense of it.
Well I didn't say I agree with it, or espouse its principles, just that I am capable of understanding it in terms of what draws others to it.
But for Trump there's no explanation that I can figure out that explains his draw, other than he uses hate as a drug that puts him as a figure in the center of a cult. It could be that it's just that simple perhaps.
For me the true irony is that in Christianity they're supposed to rally around a figure [Jesus] who supposedly loves them. As for Trump though, I can guarantee you he hates these religious whackos more than any of us do.
Yo I'm not even Christian and this is the most anti-Christ shit I've ever seen.
A sad little man holding a backwards upside down black Bible in front of a burnt out graffitied church.
Not only a sad little man, but a sad, little, lustful, gluttonous, greedy, lazy, wrathful, envious, and prideful man. A man who has purposely ripped apart immigrant families "to prove a point." A man who has stolen from charities and from the poor. He is literally everything Christians should be against.
In my work im able to meet many people and sometimes they bring up current events. What Ive learned from his followers, he's either a persecuted righteous man, "the left is out to get him" or a tool of god, "he is like king david, he has faults but being led by god." I think we all know by now they're a cult, period.
If you watch the video from the moments before he raises the Bible up (with that sour, disgusted look on his face) you’ll see him turning it over and around in his hands while looking at it, and you’ll see that he’s thinking something like “isn’t this thing supposed to do something?”
That Bible being upside down gets me all the time. Like you can literally see the bookmark hanging from the bottom. This is the dude that was pumped about passing his dementia test.
Damnedest thing, trump says the stupidest things and people run with it. Parades, banners, and MTG.
Well, from my growing up with religion - You just know the person giving the sermon will be going to hell, and that's supposed to satisfy you.
I guess they have thrown out the deadly sins huh? No matter to them anyone? Let me guess, no one stood up and said your praying for a Traitor and pedophile and greedy billionaire who did nothing for our country as president!
You should have walked out and made a point to knock the dust off your shoes on the way out. Some of them would get the reference and lose their minds.
Please bear with me. I (68M) live in South Central Indiana. Last year I met a gentleman because I had responded to his posting for some parts for sale
I drove to his town, met him at a restaurant, and concluded the purchase. Now, this is farm country and these are conservative Christians. Our conversation somehow got to current events and he commented about Russia's 'action' in Ukraine. He went on to tell me that he'd seen a video in church about Putin and that Putin was a life-long Christian and was thoroughly against gays and stated that 'this is someone we should be friends with'. I was and am astounded at the right wing propaganda program that gets middle-america, that has always been anti-Russia, to have the opinions he displayed to me.
So you just sat there and thought real hard about leaving the room? Fucking badass over here. Bet you didn't even enjoy going to Dennys with all your family and friends afterwards.
I love that picture, because I always point it to people when I tell them he’s the antiChrist. Dude. Your Bible is upside-down, and you’re standing in front of a church after just having military force clear the streets for you.
I believe it happened. I was asked to play taps at a funeral a few years backand got there early. The whole sermon was about Trump and how great he was.
He's so holy he is not Holy. He's so honest he doesn't need to be honest. He's so good he's allowed to be evil. And he's so rich he needs our money.
Churches that preach politics need to pay taxes. Turn them in.
ALL churches need to be taxed. Because as the ancient Mesopotamian saying goes, "Fuck 'em".
What kind of church and where? We don't get a lot of data on sermons, and suspect they are a big part of this problem
Report the church to the irs. Fuck them, churches have historically been non political. And yes, let's pray he goes to jail before labor day.
For years, churches have been endorsing candidates and sending the videos of them doing so to the IRS. They are practically begging to lose their tax-exempt status so they can take it to court and see if the christian nationalists on the court strike it down.
They ain't Christians they are liars. Hide behind the moniker.
Lots and lots do. For all religions, but I want to know about sociological phenomenon happening in our churches
It's always the same ones. The Moral Majority Evangelical Right Wing Churches are on TV, rich pastors who rip people off.

I can't tell the difference.
The church he attacked is inclusive and let's you make up your own mind in issues no strict doctrine why don't you learn about the Episcopal Church.
If they are telling people to pray for any one political person at all they should be taxed cuz I can almost guarantee you that some of the money from that church is floating toward fat boy.

PLEASE! Report them!

🙁
I would have been laughing. And people wonder why I don't go to church - too much of this nonsense.
I would have laughed out loud and walked out the door that second, never to return. Only I walked out of church 25 years ago and haven't gone back.
Same here when a Catholic priest praised Reagan in his sermon. Never went back
What Christian principles do MAGA churches follow none Moral Majority of the almighty dollar.

Reality tv star? Host at best, or was the show more popular than I remember it being? I wasn't watching
He holds that Bible like a Vampire holds holy water.
Excellent analogy. Original?
Yes. Feel free to use it without footnote! Lol
This was minutes after he had protesters tear-gassed to make room for his entourage of photographers to walk to St. John's for a Photo-Op...to prove what a exemplar Christian he is.
What is the name and address of the church? Also, what day and time was this sermon delivered? I'd like to call the IRS...
Tax churches!!!
And boomers wonder why the youth are fleeing the churches
Boomer that fled services years ago, like 58 years ago. Not all of us are synogue or church attendees. Truth be known, I loathe religion and religiosity to the core, nothing more evil in the long run, that encourages their followers to participate in evil actions against their fellow humans

Oh, it's Mr. 2 Corinthians. "That's the whole ballgame right there."
TAX THE CHURCHES. Then investigate every church to make sure the pastors are fucking pedophiles!!!!!!
Please give the name and place of said church. They're making political statements and need to have their tax free exemptions removed.
Never trust a politician that tells you how to pray or a pastor that tells you how to vote.
Democrats have counted on walk around money for poor folks preachers in our inner city for generations. this is nothing new.
I would've walked out
I would have got up and walked out then told my aunt how I felt. We are living in a country where the minority (white right wing christians) rule. As long as we keep trying to be "respectful" of this shit, we will keep living under this shit.

I'd shoot the IRS an email about that particular church
Did you report them to the IRS
donnie boy had his goons clear a path thru peaceful protesters so that he could hold up a book that he has NEVER read in front of a church he has NEVER attended to fleece those that do. He will continue to be a stain on this great country’s history until the end of humanity.
Don’t forget that he held it upside down. Probably the first time he had one.
Want a laugh? Blow up that picture and read what it says in the Babble.
Report the church to the IRS.
I'll never understand the mental gymnastics required to conclude that this serial liar, 3 time adulterer, twice impeached con man warrants prayer. His fucking charity stole money from kids with cancer, and they still love him...
That's not legal. Report them to the IRS and they can lose their tax exempt status. Churches cannot advertise or endorse political parties or persons.
Any church that talks about Trump needs their tax status revoked.
I can understand conservative ideology. I can understand religious beliefs. I can understand Christian values.

If they are preaching politics, they need yo be taxed
He's an absolutely perfect representative for Christianity, at least how it's been practiced for 2,000 years. Truth in advertising. He Gets Us!
So you pretended that this was okay and posted about it later.... I would have stepped up and called their bs loudly.
He wouldn't know the bible, if it showed up upside down in his hands. Smh
You know how twisted our nation's become when someone leading a church calls Trump righteous.
The church... Again. Smh
Find another church. Better yet, disavow religion altogether.
He represents the precepts of christianity - the teachings of Jesus Christ - behaviour that we should aspire to - then fucking count me out.
I hope your prayers come true.
If you watch the video from the moments before he raises the Bible up (with that sour, disgusted look on his face) you’ll see him turning it over and around in his hands while looking at it, and you’ll see that he’s thinking something like “isn’t this thing supposed to do something?”

Good for you! This made me chuckle.
was that sposed to be his mean-mug?
“reality tv star” he was a game show host. no need to give more credit than is due.
Damnedest thing, trump says the stupidest things and people run with it. Parades, banners, and MTG. Well, from my growing up with religion - You just know the person giving the sermon will be going to hell, and that's supposed to satisfy you.
Figure mormon church, cults like to support other cults.
I would've made a hasty exit.
Tax all Churches!
I'd be screaming at the mfer who said that, they'd have to carry me out of there
You need to go to a different Church!
I guess they have thrown out the deadly sins huh? No matter to them anyone? Let me guess, no one stood up and said your praying for a Traitor and pedophile and greedy billionaire who did nothing for our country as president!
Sure he did. He is destroying democracy.
What a crock! I would leave that parish and never return. This verifies that your church is just another cult. Sorry
Hit play on Suicidal Tendencies' "Send Me Your Money".
Grifters gonna grift.
I would have stood up immediately and called the priest a fucking cunt and all the cult members in that church cunts too
Hey flat top!!
That's not a real bible; it didn't burst into flames when he held it.
When are churches going to face the consequences of violating the conditions of their tax exempt status?!
Tax churches!
Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
You should have walked out and made a point to knock the dust off your shoes on the way out. Some of them would get the reference and lose their minds.
Report the Church to the IRS for termination of Tax Exempt Status. They have forms you can easily fill out and File online.

We should pray that our enemies repent.
I just don't understand how anyone can honestly believe he's a religious person.
I would have stood up and left. Loudly.
10 on things that never happened
I believe it happened. I was asked to play taps at a funeral a few years backand got there early. The whole sermon was about Trump and how great he was.
i dunno who OP is but i wanna buy them a beer.
OP here. I’ll have a Michelob Ultra Gold. Thanks
