God/Jesus doesn't even hang out in those buildings anymore. These people are at best White supremacist Shriners.
Is this only for Christians or can the TST join the fun. Not sure if anyone would accept an endorsement though because of optics.
You know the answer to this.
Sounds like they have enough money to start paying taxes. Or are we just gonna do tax-exempt donations to political parties in broad daylight now?
Which they've already done for decades? Shocking. Shocking I say.
Houston Second Baptist has been a hive of scum and villainy since as long as I can remember. Ed Young might as well be running a Super PAC.
But I guess now they get to double-up on the tax benefits of being a church and explicitly organize their campaigns under the canopy of a charity organization.

So is Dallas First Baptist.
What a shithole country.
Thankfully their Christian morals will continue to keep sex traffickers and corrupt billionaires out of the White House... surely the good Lord will be pleased.
Out of the White House and in churches where they belong! /s
Well this is going to end well. Hateful white men being given even more power. Shocked I tell you!
I'm ready for the ~~Church of Satan~~ Satanic Temple endorsement!
edit: Thats the one i meant!
The Satanic Temple.
The Church of Satan are the losers who follow Anton LeVay and pretend to do "sex magick."
No different than what they’ve already been doing. Now it can just be done publicly to a larger audience. Imagine that mannequin Osteen starting a PAC and grifting off of that.
With this IRS change why bother with SuperPACs anymore? Simply stand up your own church and get even greater benefits without any legal limitations on coordination with candidates that PACs have.
Act now and with this special offer and pay no taxes FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
The original grifters.
Theocracy I see! It would appear humanity has not progressed very far.
The first dictators went by terms with fewer negative comnotations. Kings, emperors, queens empresses. Many countries seem to even give their descendants a bit of a cultlike obsession. Yes, I'm referring to England. Hang at least a few of them, please.
