Trump to repeal law that will directly help 3rd parties in the USA.

The title of this thread is confusing.

Trump repealing this law will actually help 3rd parties.

The thread title sounds as if Trump will repeal a law that is helping 3rd parties.

Just sayin'

5 stars though - it's important to point out what he is doing.

Since he WON'T be President, he will do NOTHING LIKE THIS...

He's proposing free speech for churches, which is a good thing.

I'm not sure I would want my church telling us whom to vote for. I think that's outside the realm of church authority. It takes away from the individuals right and duty to do their own due diligence and I think it would very easily create groups of reactionary voters who rely on their religious leaders to do all the fact checking and reasoning for them.

Why have the law in the first place?

They were afraid they would overthrow the constitution I would imagine , but im not sure why. Our constitution already states our unalienable rights come from the creator.

The church is attacked for this very reason, do away with god , rights can only come from our human rulers , witch is what they seek.

They wanted the two political parties to have a monopoly on public political discourse. The Civil Rights movement wouldn't have happened without the churches, Black and White.
They had to put that kind of power back in the box, and it was a Democrat who did it.

why is it so important for a politican in the US to be a christian? In Belgium for example religion is something personal and its all about what the parties want to do thats important not religion.

Trump says he will work hard to get repealed the law where churches now can't talk politics from the pulpit without losing there tax status. That alone will change a lot of things if he can do it.

Pretty obvious if 83% of Americans profess to be Christian, that makes them the super majority in all its legislations and elections.

With this many Christians in the USA, Christian Voters, its a small wonder that that part of the 1st Amendment has not been repealed that of the "freedom of religion." But then sound minded Christians understand the necessity of that "freedom of religion" and why it is not "freedom from religion" in that part of the 1st Amendment.

But then to Christians I will tell them that the Lord and Master of the original Church of Jesus Christ, that very Lord, even paid his Roman Taxes as well as the Temple Taxes. He did not demand tax exemption for his own Church.

And what is this always about "3rd Parties"? Why not ALL political Parties being aided by the Trumps purposed repeal?

ALL POLITICAL PARTIES MATTER.

The president doesn't repeal laws......so he'll have to work real hard...

Not even the president can repeal that.
Its been to and through the supreme court.
It is settled law.

That is correct. It's a Johnson amendment policy adopted by the IRS.... It called the Johnson Amendment.

Some of these people don't seem to understand that before Trumps talks about shit like this he runs it by his attorneys first to see if its viable... Trust in Trump.

Congress and the President can Repeal ANY law and even the constitution in it's entirety.

That is correct. It's a Johnson amendment policy adopted by the IRS.... It called the Johnson Amendment.

Nonsense, it's not a constitutional issue, it can be repealed and should be. The less than supreme court doesn't make law they interpret it. It was rat Johnson who instituted the law in the sixties and it can just as easily be voided. Freedom of speech for corporations but not for churches, that shouldn't stand.

Some worry about the lobbying that would come with it. I myself believe that separation of church and state means only that the government can't sponsor one religion for the nation.Not that they should be barred from any influence in it.(I know many won't agree and thats fine , no need to argue this point.)

Look at all the lobbyist we have now. Im sure CAIR lobbies right? I think it would just be a good added check in the system.

Why can CAIR lobby?Established to promote a positive image of Islam and Muslims in America. Thats religion getting influence is it not?

1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear (respect) to whom fear (respect); honour to whom honour.

And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable preeminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your government and be your rulers. And these, too, will be mistaken in the expected happiness of their situation, for their vanquished competitors, of the same spirit, and from the same motives, will perpetually be endeavoring to distress their administration, thwart their measures, and render them odious to the people.

What do you mean when you say, not that they should be barred from any influence from it? None of the 1st 4 commandments have any business being placed into our nations laws. This is a country of religious freedom. As much as I love God, I know that any commandment that directly addresses the God we worship, should not be placed into law. This would be a calamity to toss this aside. Yet, that's exactly what the people are going to try to do, is enforce the 4th Commandment, with a twist, into law. Sunday worship will become mandatory.

And if we think it would be hard to get atheists to do this, think again:

"The Sunday Assembly was started by Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans, two comedians who were on the way to a gig in Bath when they discovered they both wanted to do something that was like church but totally secular and inclusive of all—no matter what they believed."
