I tell ya, the Beto guy seems like a guy who understands religious freedom. -- hoothat 10/11/2019 12:30PM

I'd argue donations to churches shouldnt be tax deductible to begin with. -- tchoo 10/11/2019 1:31PM

Well Gold's Gym or country clubs aren't protected by the first amendment -- Seattle .Hoo 10/11/2019 1:47PM

Newpapers pay taxes and they are protected by the first amendment -- tchoo 10/11/2019 1:53PM

Yeah, I don't think there is anything in the Constitution -- HoosWillWin 10/11/2019 2:18PM

I do think we are conflating two issues -- tchoo 10/11/2019 2:24PM

Then just get rid of all charitable deductions. An even larger # of filers -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 3:12PM

I think Beto is a flash in the pan. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/11/2019 1:59PM

And the flash has been extinguished. -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 2:13PM

Maybe a second act as a manny ** -- TpkeHoo 10/11/2019 2:22PM

His Youtube star career doesn't seem to be going well. ** -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 2:56PM

Definitely an empty suit -- tchoo 10/11/2019 2:11PM

I'd argue if income taxes were eliminated, it wouldn't matter. ** -- hoothat 10/11/2019 1:45PM

The power of the state. You don’t agree with us, we punish you. ** -- moohoofus 10/11/2019 1:15PM

My childhood church got called out for an internal fight about money. -- Blah 10/11/2019 12:54PM

This thread is also a good place to plug the Righteous Gemstones -- WahooMatt05 10/11/2019 1:38PM

I'd rather tax exempt remain as long as they stay out of politics... -- HoosQ 10/11/2019 1:24PM

Not happening. Throughout history religious leaders are political machines. ** -- Blah 10/11/2019 1:26PM

History has been known to change from time to time, but you are right.** -- HoosQ 10/11/2019 1:30PM

My father in law went to Duke Divinity school way back in the day -- WahooMatt05 10/11/2019 1:06PM

Still plenty of churches helping people...they just tend to fly under -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 1:10PM

Hard to get outraged over those that want to help everyone. It -- HoosQ 10/11/2019 1:28PM

There are Tony Bennetts and Bronco Mendenhalls out there -- WahooMatt05 10/11/2019 1:19PM

Tony completely ruins Christian hatin' for the agnostic Hoo :>) ** -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 3:20PM

Lots of good people, but their relationship is with God & not the Church. ** -- Blah 10/11/2019 1:34PM

Partially agree...some Churches provide the framework and organization to -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 2:49PM

Great ... they don't need tax exemption for missions.** -- Blah 10/11/2019 2:51PM

Personally I don't really care either way about the tax exempt status of -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 3:05PM

I'm not judging you. Most Christians are good people, IMO. -- Blah 10/11/2019 3:22PM

Some still are...but like I said earlier, they tend to operate humbly and -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 3:33PM

Fine by me, but pretty far down on the priority list of things to fix in -- BocaHoo91 10/11/2019 1:01PM

That's something to run on... ** -- hoothat 10/11/2019 12:55PM

It's a stupid question followed by a stupid blanket answer. Colleges and -- Seattle .Hoo 10/11/2019 12:38PM

It's a democrat debate...that's to be expected. ** -- hoothat 10/11/2019 12:40PM

Was it? It looked to me like a town hall. Plus the clip cuts off the rest -- Seattle .Hoo 10/11/2019 12:43PM

They cut off his nuance ** -- Tuckahokie 10/11/2019 12:46PM

No wonder I just thought it was a stupid and pandering answer. I missed the -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 12:48PM

That post above was a joke, Seattle. -- hoothat 10/11/2019 12:45PM

Some churches use their pulpits for campaign purposes. Would I cry if -- Seattle .Hoo 10/11/2019 1:01PM

Who's an authoritarian? ** -- hoothat 10/11/2019 1:03PM

The one that says practice religion as I deem fit or I tax you differently? -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 1:42PM

If a practice of a religion is to get into politics and endorse candidates -- 111Balz 10/11/2019 2:35PM

So you didn't watch the clip. Got it. ** -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 2:53PM

No I did not. I don’t open that posters posts. I was just talking -- 111Balz 10/11/2019 3:37PM

So you admit your ignorance, but chime in to prove it anyway. Got it. ** -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 3:39PM

No asshole that is not what I said. I said I don’t read that posters post -- 111Balz 10/11/2019 3:43PM

LOL! You didn't watch the clip to know what it was about. You therefore -- Hoodafan 10/11/2019 3:47PM

Fuck you moron ** -- 111Balz 10/11/2019 3:52PM
