Christian values.

this statement still boggles my mind. what are the republican values that Christianity aligns with?

Feed the poor? Nope.
Heal the sick? Nope.
Blessed are the poor and meek? Uh-uh.
Love your neighbor? Guess not.

we all remember the bible verse, Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are the rich in money, for theirs is the kingdom of tax free-havens."

Any church campaigning for any politics should lose its tax except status.

The right would be the ones crucifying Jesus if he came back.

Lots of these preachers say vote Republican because they want their taxes lowered. Lots of them, and churches, make bank. Lots of preachers wear nice suits, have nice houses, and drive nice cars. Lots of churches have offices and such to conduct business and such. I don't think you need an entire business wing on your church just for bake sales.

Obviously not all are like that, but there's enough. Others are just delusional people tricked by Republicans.

I'm pretty sure that's what is supposed to happen, but if no one reports it to the IRS then obviously nothing happens

then they can do whatever the fuck they want politically

most money donated to churches serves to maintain the building. any charitable activities can be documented and deducted separately. if that forces them to downsize their building or decor, i can live with that

most religious christians ive met are basically single issue voters around the topic of abortion. secondary is whatever today's trendy LGBT issue is (gay marriage, DADT, trans bathrooms, etc) and whatever culture war stuff is still hanging around (i.e. they're teaching the kids to be gay in school!)

I know lots of Trump voters, and while some just have undying and irrational love for the man, some really dislike him, BUT ABORTION.

I'd kinda like to see parties flip on that issue just to see what people like that do. >_>
