Makes sense. My favorite part in the bible is when Jesus, upon amassing tremendous wealth, chiding the poor, and violating the sanctity of marriage multiple times, is persecuted by the Romans. Second coming anyone?

Blessed are the pussy-grabbers. For when you are a star, they let you do it.

Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501©(3) organization as one “which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” IRS.gov

Lord of Hosts World Outreach Inc. in Omaha, NE is a 501©(3) organization. So what they are doing here is categorically illegal. Why does it never seem shit like this is investigated? Why isn’t the headline even mentioning this is a crime? What the FUCK.

edit: How do I, as an individual, get this into court? I want the right thing to happen here. I don’t believe in “tax the church” because there are plenty of religious adjacent institutions that employ non-religious individuals who provide powerful needed services and jobs to their communities. But this is crippling that good will and leaving this specific church untaxed leaves precedent for a continuation of the long cycle of abuse.

It’s amazing what these people will overlook for their single issue: abortion. Of course, this strain of religious grifters have long been entirely devoid of ethics. As far as ‘pro-life’ though, they’re giving Trump credit for something orchestrated by many other people.

Trump being the pro life candidate is still hilarious because I 1000% guarantee you he’s paid for multiple abortions

It has been legally shown he paid for one, which is higher than average.

Trump paid for something, though? Maybe… at the least he surely demanded that women have abortions and and probably threatened them over it.

“The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped.”

So in the 2020 election where Trump lost was the ‘hand of god’ not on Trump and that’s why he lost or was ‘hand of god’, all-powerful, beaten by the electorate?

Which is it? Was the ‘hand of god’ on Biden in 2020 instead, or was the all-powerful god powerless to stop Biden getting elected?

“God works in mysterious ways”

‘god’s will is that Trump lose re-election bids. As it was before, as it will be again. Who are we to question the will of god?’

Was it the hand of God doing all the pussy-grabbing? Maybe we were too hard on Trump about that. Perhaps he was the one banging those porn stars and it wasn’t Trump cheating on the mother of his newborn child?

Hey now, people pay these preachers good money so they don’t have to think, much less think logically.

So either the hand of god isn’t very powerful, or the hand of satan is much more powerful?
