Discrimination, oppression, and the War on Christianity

[Drich]

We can not discuss politics in the church. The government will shut down any church that talks politics from the pulpit.

The church can not mandate anything not permissible by the law of the land.

The church can not self govern it's own resources. meaning if the church organization holds property, the church can not decide for it self what it can and can not do with this property. for instance our church down town bough 6 ajecent lots for parking 1 day aweek. these lots all are connected to the church one way r another and are vacant, but the local government will not allow for parking as they changed the zoning to not allow parking where for 35 years parking is allowed. now the membership suffers because they are forced to park on the street and sometimes walk miles.

The church can not refuse people if they deem them unfit for a program. 
example we have a benevolence program that gives out between 25 and 100 lbs of food. the condition you must be a church going member. the government now mandates we must give away food to any who asks despite affiliation.

The church can not tell groups no. a group of homosexuals wanted to be married in our historic church down town, and the city demanded equal use of this space. (because of tax subsidies) 

there is a face book post that explains all of this and more if you want me to post it.

All from a congress who is told it can not make any laws that govern the church.

You realize that most of this stuff is not discrimination, but rather a lack of rights because the church doesn’t pay ta

And you realize that the church is not the only organization in the USA that does not pay taxes? Any and all 501-503c organizations do not pay tax, and none are so heavily regulated. in fact a presidential campaign can be considered a non taxable organization and yet have one of these restrictions placed on it. The girl scouts do not have these restrictions. yet the church does... that is discrimination.

You know what real discrimination is?

I can’t turn away a patient or refuse to treat someone.

I’m not allowed to treat patients using a rusty knife and kitchen tongs!

And most importantly, unlike churches, I still have to pay taxes.

are you allow to have a political opinion?

Are you forced to share your work space with people seeking to taint your clean environment?

Are you forced to abandon your parking lot connected to your building and be made to walk 1 to 2 miles (nearest authorized parking facility)

Are you forced to buy a bus and transport the old and infirm to and from this parking lot?

Are you forced to give out in literal tons of food in lieu of taxes to people looking to take advantage and abuse the program that refuse to meet any of the qualifications you may have to justify funding this program??

No? to me it seems you are bitching about doing what your job requires. Things you agreed to do things that one must take an oath to to even be considered for your job.

Everything I mentioned is added on well after the fact. These rules are meant to starve out and shut the church down. 

what business that requires a shop or store visit could operate without parking? If the church can not be allowed suitable parking then the membership dwindles, donations falter and all of the extra expenses mandated in an unfair way make the church default in it's new requirements resulting moving the congregation.

When is the last time you where forced to move via code enforcement violations?

question are you not smart enough to make an honest comparison between the church I mention and your own situation or are you banking on the fact that the people reading your post are not smart enough to see past you ham fisted attempt at belittling this situation?
