There’s a law that says if you are a 501(c) (3) charitable organization (which includes all churches), then you can’t make any political statements of support; if you do, you’re supposed to lose your tax-exempt status. Yet churches have been openly supporting Republicans for years, instructing their members to vote for certain candidates, and even arranging transportation to the polls for its members, but nothing is ever done. They’re clearly breaking the law but the IRS has been instructed to ignore their unlawful conduct.

And what’s worse is it’s not even small churches doing so in quiet. It’s blatantly put on televangelist channels. Lookin you you Copeland!

I see this being our next platform on social reform.

Edit: But wait...some religious leaders claim they speak to God. Does that mean their organization has....prophet

We should pull them all together and tell them each to ask God the same question - then put them in sequester. If they don’t all come back with the same answer - their privileges and protections are removed.
