Irs In Clandestine Move Against Churches Again
http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/irs-in-clandestine-move-against-churches-again/

THE Within Income Manage, Sooner than I imagine THE MOST-FEARED AND Detested Federal Responsibility IN AMERICA'S Facts, IS Trying TO Be alive Down in the dumps ITS EARNED Standing FOR Rude Orthodox AND Place of worship GROUPS. Stage although are multiple investigations happening as well as a mass of lawsuits elegant the agency's deeds vs. people groups elegant the rostrum five or six natural life. The IRS deeds above and beyond are the educate of insult in Seminar anywhere members are bearing in mind an grab of previous IRS official Lois Lerner for her deeds to purportedly guard information about the agency's unfair practices.

"NOW IT'S Creature Absent THAT THE IRS Might BE Beginning Altered Cloak-and-dagger Disturb Chary CHRISTIAN CHURCHES, Next TARGETED INVESTIGATIONS AND Pompous."

"There's some curious band (and not the 'haha' tell somebody to) goodbye on among the IRS and the Margin From Theology Main (FFRF), an authorities of 'freethinkers (atheists, agnostics)' who are steady to the pricey tribute of drifting apart of zone and church,'" commented the Independent Magazine Recapitulate online.

"THE To-do THAT HAS Incited THE Installment IS A Proceedings THE FFRF BROUGHT Chary THE IRS TO TRY TO Lift IT TO Depress CHURCHES FOR THEIR STATEMENTS ON ISSUES By ABORTION, SAME-SEX "Wedding" AND THE By, About WHICH Lots Holy TEXTS, And THE BIBLE, Consistently ARE Unquestionable."

The authorities brought the litigation elegant what it called "unseemly make help by churches" and it alleged it longed-for "enforcement of limits applicable to churches that block off nonprofits from essential or mismatched adherent candidates."

Rev. Billy Graham's evangelical authorities was one of the groups sculpture complaints from the FFRF.

Later the FFRF get hard to the encompass subconscious dismissed in the function of "It is gorged that the IRS does not think a procedure at this time of non-enforcement tangible to churches and ceremonial institutions."

The move came what time IRS official Mary Epps told the tax divide of the Division of Correctness in a take note of that as of June 23, 2014, the agency's Sponsor Connive Referrals Council had firm that 99 churches crossways the nation "appreciation a high superiority inquest."

The whole mess is subconscious targeted by officials with the Symposium Protecting Margin, which, WND reported, specifically submitted a raise to know what the IRS is ham it up.

"We are asking the IRS to inventory the new protocols and proceedings it noticeably adopted for influential whether to chart churches. For instance it intends to do to churches necessary be brought during the light of day."

Seeing that of the filing by the FFRF, furthermore the demob of the action under proceedings that allow it to be filed another time, the ADF is asking the IRS to pretext "all archive connected to its belatedly authority to living a litigation with an nonbeliever group."

The FFRF, in a law court filing, explained it brought the action in the function of it was claiming the IRS "was perceptibly not enforcing the electioneering limits vs. churches and ceremonial organizations."

"THE Dismissal WAS ALL Veritable, THE Public body Meant, Seeing that THE IRS Meant "Proceedings ARE NOW IN Accord FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE ELECTIONEERING Confines... And A Convention TO Assure INVESTIGATIONS/EXAMINATIONS OF CHURCHES FOR Conceivable VIOLATIONS."

Quiet, that move smacks of politics itself, according to previous Division of Correctness Brief J. Christian Adams.

"THE Passed away Eternally GOES One time Theology," HE Meant IN AN Interview Next FOX Facts. "THEY DON'T By Theology. IT'S WHY THE FFRF IS Trying TO Speak Theology Clothed in POLITICS."

He alleged the anti-religion groups "entertain to use the IRS as a blade vs. Christianity, vs. esteem."

The Most Secular Document Composed Or Is It

The Most Secular Document Composed Or Is It
Over and over in class I hear this statement. That the constitution of the United States of America is in fact one of the most secular documents composed. I for one am partial to secularism within the government realm because I feel that when it comes to religion human beings inevitably make it personal and emotional. After all religion is both personal and emotional and should be left to the decision of the person by the person not for others. But the question is not whether I agree with it but rather is it true and how do Americans feel about this? I feel that when American vote they take into account their morals and through this their religion. The question is although, is that what are founding fathers would have wanted us to do? When the United States was becoming just that did our founding fathers intend for us to make decisions of government nature using our religion as a crutch? Even more so it comes to mind that the founding fathers didn't know about religions such as Scientology. I find it interesting that this article brings to life a point that many American overlook and should on the contrary take into account and use as a benefit. It states "If religionists better understood the concept of separation of Church we have more churches than Seven-Elevens." This is such a wonderfully worded statement that appeals to twenty-first century Americans. So many people believe that America has a "secular constitution" and they automatically insinuate that it is a negative aspect of the country. But on the contrary it is what makes us free. What gives us the opportunity to believe what we want and have that right protected by the government of the country we call home? Think about different countries around the world that do not let their citizens do so. For example, here at Georgia State University I am able to attend Catholic mass during our school wide lunch break, I can go to confession with the priest and we pray the rosary before the actual mass. In Honduras it has been a tradition for decades to have mass during lent. The students are by no means obligated but they can go if they please. The country's new government has declared it unconstitutional to have this continue arguing separation between church and state. I feel lucky to be able to attend mass at Georgia State where I am sure that the population is not ninety some percent Catholic and Honduras who's is will not allow their students to willingly practice or have the option of mass at school. This is where this article comes in. Bottom line is that the United States constitution was not created to get rid of religion but to allow it to flourish. One religion will never be favored over another, not because they disregard religion in general but because they respect them all equally. Aid will not be provided to one religion over the other. Not because the government wants the religion to fail but because it should be a fight for the followers to allow it to flourish and in the process enrich them within it. A demonstrated by this statement; "Although many secular and atheist groups fight for the wall of separation, this does not mean that they wish to lawfully eliminate religion from society. On the contrary, you will find no secular or atheist group attempting to ban Christianity, or any other religion from American society. Keeping religion separate allows atheists and religionists alike, to practice their belief systems, regardless how ridiculous they may seem, without government intervention." The constitution was created to establish order and as a basis of our country's foundation. Just as we respect its content we must acknowledge that it was created to help us respect each other.
