Why do we now have Christian Churches complaining that they have been left...

[ReverendCleophis]

...out of Obama's Stimulus plan? These are the same people calling him the Anti-Christ so is it now ok with God to accept money from the Anti-Christ?

Shouldn't the gold lined coffers of some of these billionaire 'men of God' and their churches be the ones opening up and helping people who really suffer from this economy?

Why don't we see any of these churches offering bailouts instead of trying to get more of our money to waste?

I agree, they don't pay any taxes and shouldn't get any tax money.

Churches don't pay taxes and should not get any kind of stimulus package.

They got used to the hand outs under Bush's "Faith Based Initiative" fascism.

 

[TLMPrime]

No churches should receive any government funding.

 

[Losasha]

These days, we all need money honey!

According to recent news reports, there is stimulus money being offered to faith-based initiatives. So I’m not sure what your point is. Also, which specific religious group is complaining?

 

[It'sThatGuy]

Politics and religion have gone hand-in-hand forever. In this case, many (corrupt) Christian leaders are affiliated with the GOP and serve almost as part of the Party apparatus. The goal of the Republicans is for Obama to fail. Simple as that. They want thing to get worse so they can blame Obama for all the trouble we're having now, so they can get back on top.

So (some) churches and spiritual leaders are already into the political mode of reflexively criticizing anything Obama does or says or wants, stoking the fires of partisan discord and polarization.
