He can’t even hold the Bible right side up. SMH.
My mother has posted multiple times how god can even use a donkey and that the man doesn’t have to be perfect for god to use him. She’s completely hand waved away the fact that trump is a paragon of the anti-Christ because ‘god can use anyone’. She’s also convinced that all the conflict in the US is just signs of the times that the second coming is imminent.
Evangelicals literally don’t care what trump has done or will do. Trump was right that he could shoot someone in the head in the middle of the street and his supporters wouldn’t care.
I genuinely believe there is a disturbingly substantial portion of the right wing that scientifically recognizes the threat posed by the climate crisis but believes it’s just God’s instrument for the end times, so not only is it not a problem but it’s actually a good thing to perpetuate.
I had a chick tract with that exact message left on my car recently, it was very disturbing. The tract’s solution to global warming was war in Israel so Armageddon happens and we all get raptured away from this trashed planet. I didn’t keep it, but I found a copy on their site. I am sharing an archive link because I don’t want them getting more traffic and thinking they need to print even more of these.

Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501©(3) organization as one “which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” IRS.gov
Lord of Hosts World Outreach Inc. in Omaha, NE is a 501©(3) organization. So what they are doing here is categorically illegal. Why does it never seem shit like this is investigated? Why isn’t the headline even mentioning this is a crime? What the FUCK.
edit: How do I, as an individual, get this into court? I want the right thing to happen here. I don’t believe in “tax the church” because there are plenty of religious adjacent institutions that employ non-religious individuals who provide powerful needed services and jobs to their communities. But this is crippling that good will and leaving this specific church untaxed leaves precedent for a continuation of the long cycle of abuse.
I’ll admit it took some doing to find.
