to pray for ted cruz's success in winning the Texas lawsuit in front of the SCOTUS to give glorious leader
another four years. He also praised the other 17 attorney generals who signed on. Believe this guy's camel
has a better chance of getting into heaven than he ever will.

(9,780 posts)to stop sending him money, that won't happen. The organization is huge. The collapse of the economy is the only hope of stopping him (and others like him) as his bleeders won't have any blood left soon enough. Then that vampire will perish.

His ministry should certainly be taxed, since he's preaching partisan politics. The law is already in place. I hope President Biden plans to order the IRS to vigorously enforce the Johnson Amendment. If preachers want to promote political candidates, they should be made to pay for the privilege.

(9,780 posts)You know damn well he and his ilk have hidden everything they can to make sure the 'ministry' looks on the up and up. Start there.

(15,610 posts)At the very least, the thousands of churches and ministries that have been preaching in favor of particular candidates or political party should lose their tax exempt status.

(15,610 posts)Certainly the Trump administration has no interest in doing so. I hope the Biden administration will.
It's not just Robertson and other big name preachers, either. This kind of preaching is going on in thousands of churches across the country. It's incredibly destructive and it needs to end.

(58,043 posts)Funny how Pat Robertson, such a man of God (cough), would want a pathological liar in charge for 4 more years.
Tell us more, Pat!
Tell us how the bible justifies a lying, cheating, stealing sexual predator as the leader of this country... And then tell us how Joe Biden, who is at church on Sunday while Donny is golfing, is the evil one...

They'll explain away all the evil in the world by saying God gave us free will, yet they'll pray for God to override people's will.
Ted Cruz isn't going to get a chance to argue this case, because there are never going to be arguments.

https://www.reuters.com/article/climate-change-iceberg/giant-iceberg-on-course-to-collide-with-south-atlantic-penguin-colony-island-idUSKBN28J1UE
The gigantic iceberg - dubbed A68a - is on a path to collide with South Georgia Island, a remote British overseas territory off the southern tip of South America. Whether that collision is days or weeks away is unclear, as the iceberg has sped up and slowed down with the ocean currents along the way, said Geraint Tarling, a biological oceanographer with the British Antarctic Survey who has been tracking the icy mass.
A collision, while looking increasingly likely, could still be avoided if the currents carry the iceberg past the island, Tarling said.
