Atheists have especially been freaking out about the Ark Encounter, and how Answers in Genesis sold it for $10 so it wouldn't be taxed, but by doing that they still have to pay 18 million dollars or something. Are peeps aware of this? Atheists just want them (and all churches) to have to pay taxes, but these are the same atheists that are always pushing separation of church and state. Does anybody else see a contradiction there? Any thoughts on the matter?
Contradictions? Besides the fact that first and foremost atheists claim there is no evidence of God and yet they spend their time arguing against what they first declare isn't there?
Atheists are fascists. They want America to become like former Soviet Russia and current day China and Korea. Religion is outlawed. But you notice, it is just the Christian religion they pursue in activist measures like this one?
One group of Atheists went to the IRS to have them police churches and pastors that may speak one word about politics.
What churches need to do in order to avoid this type of persecution is to rescind their own 501(c)3 tax exempt status.
That makes them subject to the oversight of the IRS.
Because the separation clause in the Constitution insures they cannot be taxed as a religious body already.
That would also insure that such churches will not be in a position to be manipulated by that tax exemption hook when the Federal government moves to force all denominations to perform gay weddings. And allow homosexuals and Trans-afflicted persons to serve in church offices. Because when an entity is aligned with the Federal government in such ways, the laws pertaining to discrimination can be enforced.
But when a church isn't being given federal monies or exemptions, that church can hold to their theology.
Same with Christian schools.
As an example of Federal controls, this is why Charter schools are still subject to teaching poor curriculum like that which pertains to "no child left behind". And Common Core. Because those schools receive Federal funding. They then have to comply with Federal law's pertaining to those teaching cells.
It's what happens when getting in bed with the worldly devil.
Atheists are simply taking advantage and trying to pave the road to oppress Christianity in America. But you notice? They're not rabid at all as they are toward Christians when it comes to Islam?
Why? I think it's because they think we're pushovers due to the turn the other cheek teachings of Christ. They think we're sheep and won't fight back.
