pastoredsmith:
If a nonprofit is barred from endorsing or opposing a candidate, why is Planned Parenthood not? This is not about "nonprofits," it's about the church. Totally unconstitutional and completely gagging the church. Nothing more, nothing less.

bumsmcgee:
Because of separation of church and state. This is obvious.

pastoredsmith:
So, it's not 'nonprofit," it's "church?" Right. So, the First Amendment doesn't apply at all, huh? WRONG. BTW. There is no such thing as "separation of church and state" as being interpreted in the US Constitution. I suggest you read it rather than spouting liberal talking points.

bumsmcgee:
Taxing churches would violate separation of church and state. If you're going to blatantly endorse politicians, you're violating it and should be taxed. You can't have it both ways.

pastoredsmith:
Wrong. You can't muzzle Christians in America. Read the First Amendment. We are Americans who chose to be Christians. Yes, here in this country, we do have it both ways. No, it won't be taken away.

bumsmcgee:
Then pay your taxes. You've waived the right to have tax-free status if you're going to endorse politicians. I mean I learned this in grade 6.
