I just spotted a major booboo in my previous comment! I should have said IRS and not INS. Basically, churches can lose their tax-free status if they endorse a particular candidate or tell their congregation precisely how to vote.
See, there are some things that go to the core of a job: ministers and priests and chaplains being able to pray 'in Jesus' name' is one of them.
Exactly. This has raised such a stink that many Rabbis and Imans are siding with the Christian ministers. Particularly because the stink is being raised by an atheist section of the population. However, I've often heard the phrase, "There are no atheists in foxholes."
And no, things aren't going to change overnight. Sadly, many of his supporters thought things would. They thought that come November 5 things would be different. Many things are still very up in the air. There's even a senatorial seat that's still to be decided.
We've also got an economy that's sucking so badly that it's taking priority overthing else, which means there are topics that are taking a back seat which might be high on someone else's agenda, such as taxes and LGBT 'rights.' Money does still make the world go around, despite what Star Trek would tell us. Until the world gets its finances sorted, everything else is going to come second.
