Let's start with the USA.
How are Christians prevented from practicing their religion?

@Northwest Let's start with the fact that certain Biblical truths are suppressed in the US, not officially, but the suppression is still there. The same applies to certain Biblical practices. More and more true Christianity is opposed in the US while watered-down Churchianity is approved of.

@BiblicalWarrior This comment does not mention a single specific issue to discuss. I deal with reality, not generalities.

@MarkPaul We were never "prevented" from saying anything. Some people allowed ultra-sensitives to dictate your words instead of using your own.

@Northwest How about the fact that you are not allowed to address political issues in the pulpit if you are a 501(c)(3) church?
Pinkstarburst · F
@BiblicalWarrior Thank the LORD for that!!!!

@Pinkstarburst Don't you remember, Obama made it illegal to say, "Merry Christmas?" The gutless and failing Baby-trump freed us from that prison sentence.

@MarkPaul I don't know where you get your information but you REALLY need to find another source. This is complete and utter crap and you know it. I is terrifying that you are this ignorant.

@BiblicalWarrior OK, so just to be certain I get what you're saying. You want to be able to practice politics from the pulpit of a 501(c) organization? Can you give me a Chapter and Verse on that?
Northwest · M
@Pinkstarburst He's being sarcastic.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Pinkstarburst Which part do you object to... the part about Obama or the part about the gutless and failing Baby-trump?

@Northwest you sure??? I just don't know with him anymore.🤔
Northwest · M
@Pinkstarburst Positive.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Pinkstarburst LOL. OMG.

@BiblicalWarrior Addressing political issues in church is pretty much at the top of the list why I left organized religion. I ended up hearing more about political candidates, ballot initiatives, cultural war nonsense than actual religious instruction.
If you want to do that in a church, don't file for 501(c)(3). It's that simple. Plenty of churches go that route so that they have no IRS constraints whatsoever.
