If the IRS started cracking down on churches taking stances on political issues this might not have happened. If churches want to be politically active they should lose their tax exempt status, in accordance with existing laws.

Man lies in wait and shoots pastor 20 some odd years his senior. Methinks this is going to go the way Hastert.

Meanwhile, the Good Guy with a Gun was having a slice of Chicken Pie in Raleigh. One of these days he’ll be around to put a stop to this madness. You just wait!

While we’re waiting, the Sky Pilot can give thanks to Jesus for being in the O.R…wait…what?

Wonder when we discover that Pastor Remington was Odom’s ‘Sunday school teacher,’ ‘mentor’ and/or ‘baby sitter.’

Yeah, people have tried to explain this to me over and over. If churches are going to get involved in politics, how come they’re tax exempt?

Trump: Lord Jesus couldn’t protect the Pastor because Pastor was supporting a Canadian. Pastor wasnt for Making Amerika Great Again.

I don’t think Rev. Tim Remington gave his prayer at sermon or in a Church. It’s OK to do what he did. I’m a bit surprised that he fell for Cruz’s religious shtick…but I hope he does OK.

I spent a lot of time in Idaho when I was a kid. People there are gasping, “You mean he WASN’T?”

My thoughts and prayers go out to the pastor and Ted Cruz’s families because as John Bush the Acronym ¿Jeb? said, “Stuff happens”.

C-section Born Teddy Cruz has always claimed to be the Face of the God We All Love. It looks like C-section Born Teddy could be a False Prophet and that God has taken his Hand to spite His Face.

Churches believe (and are taught) that their tax-exempt status is inviolate and cannot be affected by their political activity.

…they’ve scared the bejesus out of the IRS and the Republican-controlled Congress has been slashing the budget for that agency so that it is not able to investigate, address the violations of the law against partisan advocacy.

Churches and the rest of those rackets should not be tax exempt, and donations to those organizations should not be tax deductible
