L.A. Judge Tosses Restraining Order Against Pastor John MacArthur, Grace Community Church Forbidding Indoor Services

L.A. Judge Tosses Restraining Order Against Pastor John MacArthur, Grace Community Church Forbidding Indoor Services. Finally, someone gets the First Amendment. Remember Gavin and Garcetti, GOD wins!

A Los Angeles County judge denied the county’s request for a temporary restraining order against a prominent evangelical church and its pastor after they did not comply with Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order to shutter their house of worship because of the coronavirus.

Judge James Chalfant agreed with Grace Community Church and Pastor John MacArthur that the burden rested on Los Angeles County officials to prove why they were justified in infringing upon the church’s right to freely exercise their religion. The church nevertheless agreed to abide by mask and social distancing protocols at least until the full hearing in September.

So why can’t we go to church in California? Huh?

So why can’t we go to church in California? Huh? Well, because Governor Hair Gel has it listed as verboten.

Supreme Court strikes down state ban on taxpayer funding for religious schools

Supreme Court strikes down state ban on taxpayer funding for religious schools. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts gets one right for a change.

In the 5-4 ruling, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court essentially backed a Montana tax-credit scholarship program that gave residents up to a $150 credit for donating to private scholarship organizations, helping students pay for their choice of private schools. The state’s revenue department made a rule banning those tax-credit scholarships from going to religious schools before the state’s supreme court later struck down the entire program.

“A State need not subsidize private education. But once a State decides to do so, it cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious,” Roberts wrote in the court’s opinion.

Pope sends aid to migrants stranded at the US border. $500,000. If you want to ask why in our opinion it’s because the Catholics Churches make bank off illegal immigration. They also can pump their membership up and get more donations. Pope Commie needs to resign.

Sri Lanka: Seven Muslims arrested for Easter Sunday jihad massacres, death toll passes 190. Hopefully justice will be swift.

Sri Lanka’s defense minister Ruwan Wijewardena “blamed religious extremists for what he called the ‘unfortunate terrorist incident.’”

But even in this hour of crisis neither he nor other authorities worldwide will dare to identify exactly what kind of “religious extremists” were involved, even though Indian media has already identified two of them by name: Zahran Hashim and Abu Mohammad.

The United States Revokes Scientology’s Tax-Exempt Status

The United States Revokes Scientology’s Tax-Exempt Status. In what we’d call an amazing turn of events the IRS and the Supreme Court do something right for a change. We hope this doesn’t turn out to be a precursor to revoke the tax-exempt status of mainstream religions.

Pope on Trump: Anyone who wants border walls isn’t Christian

Pope on Trump: Anyone who wants border walls isn’t Christian. The Pope has now interjected himself and the Catholic Church into U.S. politics. Shouldn’t the Catholic Church now receive an IRS audit and lose their 501 (c) (3) tax-free status? Oh, and where’s the left screaming about the separation of church and state?

The below is from the IRS.

Tax-Exempt Status

Churches and religious organizations, like many other charitable organizations, qualify for exemption from federal income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and are generally eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions.

*net earnings may not inure to the benefit of any private individual or shareholder;

* no substantial part of its activity may be attempting to influence legislation;

* the organization may not intervene in political campaigns; and
