I am sorry, but I see a huge disconnect between the average Christian American taxpayer and the governmental public servants and Christian clergy. I get lies from the one and lip service from the other. I guess I am supposed to starve and die destitute. This is how I deal with “taxation with representation.” Every April 15th, I tell people I donate to my charity, the American Government, who sends middle class and poor kids to die in wars undeclared by Congress; who takes my money to support overseas abortions; who gives money to Planned Parenthood; who cares for illegals in emergency rooms; and who gives deadbeats welfare checks and food stamps, not to mention the other frivolous things they do with money that could be better spent by me.

And while the aforementioned travesties of human injustice and criminality take place, the clergy quietly speak about puppy dogs, ice cream, peace and love and good happiness stuff. Can someone please inform me on the whole tax-exempt situation with churches? Is it true that if they speak against the government they can lose their tax-exempt status? I would appreciate some info. Thank you. There are too many charities. Give to one you trust and be done with it. Wow! Come to think of it, after giving to the government, the church, and charity, you’re left with nothing but a pot to micturate in. Am I the only who feels like this?
