Exactly, they are given that tax exempt status based on practicing their religion. The Christian religion was never meant to be a political extremist cult, in fact it’s considered a sin for these televangelist to act as these idolatrous far right extremist propagandists for the Republican Party and it is in violation of the rules that exempt them from paying taxes.

When did these freaky preachers switch from preaching religion to preaching politics. Take away their tax exemptions NOW. That guy is horrifying. If there is a heaven, Jesus won't let him in the door.

This is a cult leader and he's showing us how you brainwash a cult.

That preacher is a perfect Republican stereotype. He's screaming from a pulpit at his congregation to go out and hate others, while claiming that those "others" are hateful. And, of course, he could watch that video played back to him endlessly and would never get it.

If anyone is ''spreading evil'' then it's these performative pastors who use religion to make themselves rich.

You poor Summer child. My shock arrived earlier, 36 years ago, when I found out that children going to public schools did not automatically get free breakfast and lunch like in my country. And then it was the hatred against women. The image that I had of US women was one of confidence, freedom, liberality, and equality with men. Well, was I wrong. There is, and there was 36 years ago, some confidence, freedom, etc., but for the most part women were seen and treated as second class, good for only a couple of things. That's when it hit me: US society was profoundly conservative. Hatred of women as fully-realized human beings, hatred of the poor, and millions upon millions of temporarily-embarrassed millionaires voting against their best interest. And churches. Lots and lots of churches.

This is the Devil Incarnate clothed as a pseudo evangelist. He has so much hate in his heart. I guess it’s his way of making a living. It’s certainly not a calling from God.
