Commentary on the post called, "You can't have your cake and eat it too"
This
is a commentary on a post called , You Can't
Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too. Yes, I agree this voids the
churches 501c status as a non profit tax exempt organization that is limited on
political activity. This type of freedom of speech doesn’t extend to churches
when political endorsement is pushed.
While
the actual phrase of separation of church and state isn’t in the constitution. There
is an establishment clause in the first amendment basically stating the
separation of church or state. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black that” on the
belief that a union of government and religion tends to destroy government and
degrade religion.” A church supporting a candidate doesn’t actually go against
separation of church and state, but let’s think about it the other way around.
The GOP supporting Christianity in general. Is this a violation of the establishment
clause? I think Christianity and religion in general is a good thing that
promotes closer communities. I don’t think that GOP which holds many elected
offices should be so closely tied with Christianity. The church and state has
been dissolved together in GOP.
