Next will be something Christians believe thats against the Democrats agenda and there go's that right.
And on and on.
Where do you get that anyone is going to bring a case to the SCOTUS that aims to take away church tax exempt status? And, even if someone did, and if the SCOTUS somehow ruled in contradiction to all precedents in constitutional law on that issue, how would removing church tax exempt status take away your right to worship as you please?

Where do you get these fear prognostications? Do you just randomly create them out of nothing? Or do you have some secret source the rest of us aren't privy to?

The number of conservative conspiracy theories out there right now will boggle one's mind. And you don't have to look too far. They are at all times highs. Its another one of the ways Trump gets so many riled up for his cause, even if they don't like him as a leader/man. I mean what could be worse than Hilary and other liberals leading the nation? <fill in some wacky theory of choice> Its like the end of days for some... The beginning of the end, similar to what Obama was going to be... twice... only worse now, much worse!

Fear Mongering: The deliberate use of fear based tactics including exaggeration and usually repetition to influence the public in order to achieve a desired outcome. We could include half baked lies, fringe case straw men, racial and foreigner distrust, wrongful blame of every societal problem, false conclusions, etc...

No. That's just not so. If you can't grok the difference between the trump campaign and the H.C. campaign in this regard then you really and truly need to work on you discernment skills!

I'm not a Dem and I voted for Obama. He was supposed to save us from the Bush years. 8 years later I still like him as a person just not a president. No Repub feared him like they do Hillary in my opinion. She'll probably win and when she gets to the White House she better be a lot nicer to the secret service then last time because she'll be the most hated president ever in our modern time. This is going to be the era of the betch replace e with i

Maybe better to have an angry old man yelling at a chair than an angry old man yelling at EVERYBODY.

You bring up a very good point. Churches should have their tax exempt status taken away. Scamming people out of their money should just be straight up illegal but if you allow it at least make em pay taxes for it, jeez.
