John Oliver nails it... the absurdity of "Prosperity" TV preachers. He starts his own church - Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption
sounds bad, but mortgage, charitable gifts, TEA party, all exemptions need to be eliminated. In almost every case any exemption just makes the middle class subsidize the rich if you really do the math and believe tax revenue is an old fashioned real money finite pie
Liberals want churches to be taxed but keep Planned Parenthood and its baby parts junk yard tax free.
eliminate income taxes and all these problems go away. why should we have income taxes anyway? it just encourages the establishment to become more fascist over time. lets stop feeding the beast.
Prosperity gospel preacher: People who don’t understand why I need a jet don’t understand God’s word http://www.rawstory.com/2015/08/pro...d-why-i-need-a-jet-dont-understand-gods-word/ Atlanta “prosperity gospel” minister and megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar briefly addressed his desire for a multimillion-dollar Gulfstream G650 jet over the weekend, saying people who criticized him didn’t have a godly worldview. “See, don’t get upset when the world says stuff and talks about stuff, and all that. They’re just looking through the wrong lens, they don’t understand,” Creflo said in a sermon uploaded to his ministry’s website. “‘What does a preacher need with an airplane?’ They don’t know,” the preacher added. “They’ll never know because they’re not looking through the Word. They will never know, never never know.” Creflo made national news after asking his followers to donate towards the purchase of a $65 million dollar Gulfstream G650 jet to replace his older airplane.

Mega-church leaders are pussies. They never discuss contemporary evil (welfare-warfare state, NSA spying, GMO's, fluoride in the water, government bailouts, the debt, preparations for martial law) because they can't jeopardize their precious tax-free status. They're greedy pussies. Straight up. The most political churches get, is quoting Romans 13. All Government is of the Lord, so get in line. Like Hitler, Stalin and Mao. Of the Lord. But maybe they were. Who knows.
