10. Loss of tax exempt status

If he is telling church members who to vote for (or not vote for), then that church should lose its tax exempt status.

As a Christian, I am always appalled when these hate mongers claim to speak for me. And since I am always skeptical of megachurches, strip it if its tax shelter status for this minister and let him pay taxes on the car, house, etc. that the church is paying for instead of looking after the least of these as Jesus commanded.

We have two rules as Christians: love God and love your neighbor, everything else is above our paygrade. Stick to preaching and living that megachurches and stay out of politics, because going into politics will cause the skimming off the top done by your preacher to be taxed.
