The STATE of the "CHURCH"

The STATE of the "CHURCH"
Let me know if you think your "religion" or "church" has been excluded unfairly, read on....I am sure I will get to it.

Law requires the "separation of church and state" and for violations there are millions in taxes due by religious organizations. The "greatest" liars of the last thirty years include many so we will break it down for you. Just think of the TRUE great works that could have been done with the millions these men have bilked their followers out of. Think of the food, housing, clothing, and utilities their personal spending budgets could have provided to humans who really needed the help and charitable works.

Jerry Falwell has a personal annual budget of over 100 million dollars and has been a political activist, using his church/evangelical connections to effect the votes of the religious followers that he "commands". Pat Robertson has had a personal budget of as much as 190 million dollars over 100 million normally, and used his 700 Club as a political forum to encourage voting for specific candidates including himself. James Robison and Charles Colson are also guilty of the same activities with respect to G.H.W. Bush, R. Reagan, and G.W. Bush. Billy Graham has had a personal budget of over 100 million dollars and his political activism goes back to Richard Nixon and has never ended since that time. This has been an ongoing activity for over 30 years.

I want these individuals and their organizations taxed retroactively to the first proven connections to politicians and they should be fined the penalties for their violations and failures to declare themselves taxable organizations/individuals. This has been an open violation of the separation of church and state, an open attempt to impose "religious" fervor upon non-religious citizens of the US, and an affront to the "tax-exemption" status they are allowed. Were these men "good Christians", I would think that one million would be more than adaquate for living yearly. They have amassed wealth using their tax-deferments and the moneys that should have gone to aid and improve the lives of millions of people in true need.

Jimmy Swaggart deserves his own paragraph. Not only has he violated the "taxation" rules of the separation of church and state. He, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson have continuously encouraged acts of violence and hatred toward homosexuals and any person who refuses to believe the mythologies they purport to be religion.
