It's freaking crazy. There's no way to predict anything based on prior tendencies either. It's pretty scary.

Atheist group sues the IRS saying that certain churches are abusing their tax exempt status. IRS settles and says they'll monitor sermons for said abuse.

This could cause issues. Will any church be able to even say that homosexuality, abortions, birth control, etc., are sins?

Those are all political issues. By stating what is or isn't a sin, could they lose their tax exempt status?

So is the end game to have every church assigned a govt monitor to assure no clergy are pushing their flock to believe certain political ideologies?

Sounds very Soviet.




This pleases Jay Carney

No way this amounts to anything. The most politically vocal churches are of a certain demographic.

Not that that's the point.

There is no court cited, no suit named, no person questioned by an "article" with no named writer.

Excellent source ya got there.

We just need to abolish the IRS altogether. I believe the Fair Tax would pretty much cover this.
