Religion has been under attack in the United States for a while now. Separation of Church and state is meant to protect the church from the state not the state from the church. But this all seems to be completely wrong now. And the Johnson Amendment just seems to be completely indicative of this. But Donald Trump is speaking out about this. He is making it clear that it will not stand as long as he has any say in the matter.
At the Prayer Breakfast he made a bold statement that is bringing comfort to people everywhere.
“It was the great Thomas Jefferson who said, the God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Jefferson asked, can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God,” Trump stated.
He continued, “Among those freedoms is the right to worship according to our own beliefs. That is why I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution. I will do that.”
You can watch the video below herem and hear for yourself what Donald Trump had to say about it. Maybe our religious freedoms are going to be better protected now than they have been in the past.

Listen for the knives being sharpened by opponents and people with nothing better to do.
ReplyDeleteA deep sigh of relief. It is going to be a blessing for all. PRAISE THE LORD.
ReplyDeleteWith this he should revoke the tax exempt status of religious organizations.
ReplyDelete@ 9:15 Why should they lose their tax exempt status ?
ReplyDeleteExactly right 915.
ReplyDeleteHow can any god fearing, church going person support this? Church was the one place where you could go and get away from the madness of the world and really listen to the word of God. Pastors, Priests and lay people have no business preaching about politics - stick to the word of God and leave that whole mess alone.
ReplyDeleteWho are you or anyone else to tell the church what they can preach ? There are plenty of political shows on TV and radio that have extreme political views funded 100 percent by tax dollars. Free speech and tax exemption for churches is not extreme for all the work they do to help those in need.
ReplyDelete9:45, ??? So you're saying it should be against the law for the preacher
ReplyDeleteto discuss and express his opinions and beliefs.
I don't know what Bible you're reading,but the one I read is full of things about life and human nature,and " the madness of the world."
