First, the destruction of the Johnson Amendment, and now, making watersports the official national past time. Good times. Good times.

This is an attempt to return to the Dark Ages.

I agree. Anti corruption mentality only happens if someone recognizes and actually cares that corruption is going on.

Like that would be a bad thing . . . .

And adding a sacrament involving urine to the Christian mantra would be so apropos . . .

The "one true faith" representation up to the highest donor. Cool. Let the donating wars begin.

And when their candidate looses what will be said of that religion?

Edit: This seems like a marvelous way to drain the churches coffers.

Just remember that all other religions will be able to do the same thing as the Christian Taliban. Since church attendance is declining maybe it won't affect too many people.

I wonder if Trump realizes that ditching the Johnson amendment would also allow Muslim mosques and leaders to engage in political activities?

I see politics as one more reason to schism. Like 70000+ flavors of Christianity ain't enough ?

It is more a flavor of corruption, and division too. What will pols do when they are getting missives from the various religiousites pulling in 3 different directions ? And when the churchy folks start fighting over public money? (like they aren't worshipping Mammon enough as it is)

Just in my lifetime, (since the 60s for me when I hit sentience) the 'theological mutation rate' has noticeably accelerated, and just in the last few years, there has been an even faster devolution of piety and faith.

Irrelevancy and meaninglessness can only be enhanced by this doomed policy.

The churchy folks aren't going to appreciably affect the pols in any way we would consider 'biblical', and I can guaranty intimate exposure to the pols will continue to erode, dissolve, sully, and infect the essence and purity of what even now passes for 'faith'.

Maybe we can get some of that native american big casino money backing and then there will be sweat lodges and peyote for all!
