Here’s<\/a> a good example of the reason that churches should pay taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go to vote \u2026 I\u2019m going to go in there and represent Jesus,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve not heard presidents prior to him ever mentioned God like this president. I\u2019ve never seen a president fighting for the church as great as what this president is. The proof is look at the Johnson Amendment, that\u2019s why I can say what I\u2019m saying today. If the party of the non-religious comes, that will be taken. So I\u2019m gonna go and say, \u2018Well Jesus, he sounds like a friend of yours even though he may not know you\u2014I don\u2019t know if he does, that\u2019s between him and you\u2014 but it sounds like he sure trying to help you.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a president that\u2019s trying to help the church \u2026 and yet we\u2019ve got Christians that aren\u2019t helping him,\u201d Kunneman fumed. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with us? When I go to the voting booth, I\u2019m gonna say, \u2018Jesus, I\u2019m voting for Donald J. Trump, and every person that will fight for my religious freedom.\u2019 Does Jesus, who is the king of our kingdom, does he wants you to put a checkmark next to somebody who is an atheist?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t be fooled by this pious hypocrisy. If this clown authentically believed in religious freedom, he wouldn’t presume to expect me to indirectly subsidize his politicking via his privileged tax status.<\/p>\n

The Holy Men, and the pious fools who listen to them, are the most intellectually corrupt and inauthentic class of people in society; their entire lives are about maintaining fictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
