I am not in any way, shape, or form implying that you are one of them. You’re not.
That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me today!


I don't mind idiots, I just ask that they be entertaining. Fartknuckle here doesn't come close to crossing that hurdle.

Given the fact that the Southern Baptist Church might as well be the fourth branch of government, I think it's definitely time to consider this. The church wants power and wants to be able to ram itself down everyone in America's throats, even though that's against the Constitution, and it wants to remain tax exempt while it does so. That's so against the principles this country was founded on.

No; Germany deduct certain percentage from the people to pay for churches which is lovely meaning certain money from your income goes towards the churches.

I don’t care about a piece of paper written almost 300 years ago by uneducated individuals. We can always change for the better and adopt 21st century ideology. Anyone opposing evil and non-Christian agenda is against love, peace and forgiveness and anti-Westerner as Christianity was the main influence of the West.

You know it's a great thread when we can all find unity in agreeing that the OP is out to lunch.

This will bring in nice revenue to the nation which could help pay for many things.

A non-starter.....they are mostly on welfare (at our expense) and cranking out little jihadists as fast as they can....(at our expense)

I suspect the people who wrote the Constitution of the United States were better-educated than you.

The writers of the U.S. Constitution were 'uneducated'?

Wow.........

And by the way, genius....Christianity isn't a '21-century' ideology. It kinda goes back a *lot* further than the Constitution that you just derided as being 300 years old, so therefore, 'not worth caring about'.
