This right here is why Mindysan is so adamant about religion, and religious people, not being a monolith…
This might be a good political speech that we would support, but political speech needs to be separated from religious services in tax-exempt churches. I don’t like seeing megachurch pastors openly endorsing the republicans , and I don’t like this either, even if it is on the right side of the debate.
I can almost guarantee you that Republicans who’ve remained conspicuously silent during decades of Evangelical pastors politicising on their behalf from their tax-exempt pulpits are going to raise a big stink about this sermon – all the more so because it’s so eloquently honest and compelling.
The truth hurts, those that shun it.
Preach it, Preacher Man.
And this is how churches finally lose their tax exemption

I really do believe in separation of Church and State. ESP. since these Christian Nationalists want to abolish it.
Yup, Martin Luther King Jr.'s doctorate wasn’t in physiology.
Right wing, white churches have been doing this for YEARS and getting away with it. It’s only considered a “problem” when it’s left-wing or Black churches advocating for our common humanity and for progressive causes…
I’d also argue, that by circumstances, the Black church has always been political, and should not be punished for that.

Which will somehow fall short of calling for the Johnson Amendment to be rigorously enforced.
