BINGO!

In my not-so-humble opinion on this one (a hot button for me) — all these churches that are preaching politics from the pulpit should lose their tax-exempt status…..

Many of them are nothing more than political machines, using members as voting tools by keeping them angry and self-righteous and distracted.

Separation of church and state is for a reason. This does not mean we should be a nation of heathens, but c’mon, politics from the pulpit is out of control — and there is no reining it in.

And America pays — in so many, many ways.
