And we wonder why society is decaying so rapidly. Church and its representatives are sickening, the almighty CD and book salesman and the constant bombardment of the almighty seed and how you will reap miracles and great blessings if you just send US your money

The government needs to do a complete cleansing of the churches today, remove ALL the garbage off of television and the networks that support the nonsense

There are some of you that get discouraged when this comes up but unfortunately this is today's religious culture. Your mayor Jake day is seriously guilty of abusing the mayors office to further church members occupational agendas as well as any and all local, state and federal grant monies. Religion today is completely inundated with its obsession with money and wealth and status. Merely a tool for extorting money under the guarded 501c3 status and CD and book marketing.

Separation of church and state (i.e., gov) 141pm. No getting around that. TVer's make $$$ off the church's infomercials each/every week. Believe it or not, they get ratings too!!

That's correct... the government would be prohibited by the Establishment Clause.

They CAN revoke their tax exempt status however... and most churches really, have no business getting a tax exempt status.
