    If churches can't or shouldn't be allowed to spread their faith, than who can?

    But really, should we expect anything less from MSNBC?

    Do these morons not understand that Central America is like a majority of Catholics already? Oddly the three nations that these new invaders are from have the lowest percentage of Catholics, by comparison, all still have twice as many Catholics or more than the US has by percentage...

    Mexco and the like are about 98% Christian, if Christians are working on converting, they are wasting their time

    maybe they are trying to convert the last two percent so God paves their roads with gold

    There is a difference between Protestant and Catholic, just because someone isn't a Catholic doesn't make them a godless heathen. The percentages can be found in the link I provided if you care to see how many are actually Catholic...

    ah, so this is more of the Christin infighting, we are the true truth about Jesus kinda deal, converting false Christians into real Christians?

    just curious, what percent of Americans Christians are false Christians?

    Oh, anyone who does not agree with the OP must be a false Christian. I was raised in a Christian family. It ruined religion for me because I found very few people who actually lived up to the religion. Mostly, they just wanted to control others, or talk down to others to make themselves look good. All while doing horrible things to people with whom they disagreed at the same time. It was so disappointing.

    Once I got to my teen years, I could not help but ask myself- do these people truly love anyone except themselves? They were so busy pointing out faults in others. The stories about the Pharisees seems to be completely lost on them. They were the very same people Jesus would have thrown out of the temples.

    I have no doubt that many of our current "Christian" members in this forum would crucify Jesus all over again if he were ever to return. But if I were him, I'd say, "No way. Did it once, not going there again. Obviously, they missed the point the first time around." And all one has to do is look at the pages in this forum to see just how true that is.

    I don't know what you are talking about as to true or false Christians. This is not a matter of infighting in the least, its just more liberal whining about the Church and the good deeds they do without being forced by the almighty government...

    lol, the question is not, are we getting 'good works', but are we getting as much 'good works' as the tax payers are paying for, doesn't sound like it

    the churches does not like to give the tax payer credit where credit is due unless the funds stop.... so doesn't surprise me you would not know this

    see this thread, post #3

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?p=1064104416#post1064104416

    many tax parer monies pay for the churches, faith based initiatives for one... course you never see the church giving tax payers credit there either, and notice they have no issue taxing funds collected from people that are gay, that have had abortions, ect.... a dollar is just a dollar then....

    fact is, the churches are failing and the tax payers are having to bail them out.....

    The person is rather upset that churches are exempt from paying taxes. Never mind all the other money we waste, like the 1.5 trillion on the JSF.

    That's nice. A link to someone's opinion on an open internet forum. Here's a link about the tax exemption for 501(c) charitable institutions.
    http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/501

    You're welcome. As long as the Church isn't getting directly behind a political party or canidate, there's noting to worry about.

    Not that this had anything to do with the op, but anyways, I digress...

    Oh, I know, I just can't understand the basis of the argument. Talk about sense of entitlement, like any dollar in America that doesn't get taxed is somehow bad...
