Kenneth Copeland, a famous televangelist who founded Eagle Mountain International Church, built a six-bedroom mansion near Fort Worth in 1999.

Copeland is worth $750 million and owns multiple properties and several private jets, the Chronicle said. The jets are housed at a nearby airport named after him.

Under Texas law, pastors' homes, known as parsonages, can get a 100% exemption from property taxes.

I support ANYONE CONservative that cheats their taxes. If a democRAT does it tho, they should be executed!!! NO EXCEPTIONS! This goes for lib cunts that leave the shit they created in America and no longer pay their fair share for what they've done! KA-POWN3D!
 
How is it cheating if it is a legal tax deduction? I swear dog shit is dumber than dog shit.
 
And no one believes God talks to Copeland.

In fact, most of the entire Christain community believes he is a demon. Literally demon possessed. What he isnt.....is political.

If this is some "tax the church" bullshit, be clear. Tell us why Copeland shows why all the actual churches should have less money to feed and house poor people.

Right now the mission intent through runs on donations and gives hundreds excellent care for free ......we know how much that pisses off statists who want people on some shitty GovCo program that tosses crumbs.

Keep your Mega Church out of my Nieces uterous.

I am an atheist, dumb ass. Words have means and she failed to use words correctly.

Nonsense. They know all us "cons" are all TBN prosperity gospel rich people who cheat on everything and hate brown people.

The jig is up!

You gotta love how leftists who do not even believe in Christ, who generally hate Christian's, who NEVER help any of the faith based outreaches anywhere(many do not even know how much the Body does for the down trodden).....but yet they try to use Jesus to manipulate and lecture people over something like helping the poor by use of authoritarian government theft.

The Lord calls GIVERS. The less you tax people the MORE they give. The more you tax? The LESS there is for those in need.

They act like the government doesnt already scam and waste billions without doing a fucking thing for anyone. CA has homeless shitting in streets and it's so taxed its ridiculous.

Pick a blue state and solve all the problems there and SHOW us all. Because so far all we see is waste and neglect and tax slavery.

Jesus Himself knew you cannot depend on the government to do HIS work.

Lotus prosperity cultists are not Christian's.

If you KNEW any Christian's, youd know that.

How many leftwing grifting politicians have been able to rob everyone in the country? That doesnt seem to bother any of you but this does? At least the people getting preyed upon by these people are willing. Joel Osteen isnt taking money right out of the mouths of working class children like the politicains you want to inflict on everyone.

Imagine if these prosperity peddlers (mega churches are all prosperity peddlers) were able to decide policies and taxes? Attacking inalienable rights and trying to make the government bigger? Deciding who gets what medical intervention? Forcing everyone to participate in their bizzare religion that doesnt really care about anyone?

That's how we feel about leftism. Like it's an expensive religion we dont want to join. One that even scews science to allow crimes against humanity like abortion, allowing men to "identify" as women, and forcing medical treatments while making life unaffordable. And everyone who is a heretic in this religion is treated horribly too.

Why are you focusing on Copeland? He isnt a Christian. He is a basic scam artist....a fact so obvious that it's hard to have sympathy for the people willingly making him wealthy. He has no power or influence. He cant raise our taxes. Shut down our businesses. Start wars. Start riots. Incite violence. Copeland impacts no ones life unless they WANT him to. And believe me
.....many of those people involved in the prosperity heresy are willing participants and dont WANT to hear anything else. I've had many convos with people who eat this stuff up and tried, as a believer in Christ, to get them to see how evil and unbiblical it all is. None of them are interested in Jesus. They want prosperity. They are worshipping a version of God that looks more like the Alladin genie than Jesus. And they get angry if you try to tell them.

Sometimes God will turn people over to delusions and give them the "teachers" they want. Even the Bible addresses exactly this.

What is your political point here? Is it just that Copeland is a demonic scumbag? Because that's not doubted. Is this some slam on Christian's? Because these are not Christian's. Even Muslims know these prosperity ghouls are not Christian's.

Also again where are all the leftwing outreaches? All you ever find out there are Christian's on the actual streets helping people.

If I knew any Christians? You don't know jack about my life, obviously.

You have shown that you are clueless, though.

You are like The Leaker in the Pit Bull thread calling a dog that is likely over 150 pounds a "Pit Bull".

You do not know what you are talking about.
 
Without trying to address several of the goofier points you raise, I wanna just speak to one.

..If this is some "tax the church" bullshit, be clear. Tell us why Copeland shows why all the actual churches should have less money to feed and house poor people.
I don't think it's about taxing the church, not to me. It's about millionaire preachers and a sorely outta date tax code.

Lotus prosperity cultists are not Christian's.
Sorry but I don't think you get to have it both ways here. IRS and most state DR's are constrained by the first amendment (you know, the one about religious liberty) to license preachers with very little credentialing because for the most part they SAY they are preachers and they have a visible local "church" community. Their tax treatment ain't based on an assay of their programs and ministries.

And those "church" communities also get a religious exemption on that part of church property that's used for "religious" purposes, and they will either provide their pastor with a "parsonage" or "manse" or "rectory" or whatevs that is also exempt from property tax. If not that, they will pay a housing allowance as an add-on to the salary package.

There is no point in the taxing process where the government gets the liberty of observing as you do that not all professing "Christians" are actually Christian.

In short, I think the point of the OP is that the tax code as it's now written, is a fukin joke and a lot of people take advantage of it in ways the Founders never intended.

And nobody in power finds it convenient to rock that boat.

Lotus, I hope you are not speaking bad about an xtian church, or churches even.
. If you do, it means you hate Jesus.
I lernt that right here on theBadTardFactory, so it must be true.

Oh and PS: Don't ask who said it. My mom taught me never to speak ill of the insane because it's not their fault they are the way they are.

Bitch, the founders would have lynched the entire government by now. FACT!

What am I trying to have "both ways"? The entire Christian community and the bible itself calls out the prosperity cult.

So even though Christ bluntly told us to beware of false prophets and false teachers.....you are saying we cant? Did Jesus go back on that and say somewhere that everyone who claims to come in His name should be regarded as such even when they are teaching blatant falsehoods and promising us material prosperity and healing from disease? We are told by Christ to judge them by their fruits and scrutinize them according to scripture. Anyone can say anything.

Are those people that want to talk about your cars extended warrant to be taken seriously?

And I never said the government should get involved with them. I'm completely opposed to government meddling and over taxing. I never said the government needs to do anything. PEOPLE need to use better discernment and be more responsible for what they are supporting. It's not like they cant check these people.....there is a ton of info out there that breaks down these teachings. If that's the religion they want to participate in, that's their freedom to do so. It's fake and its lies and it goes against God. But that doesnt mean I think the government should tax them. The government already wastes too much money.

I really have no idea why you got the impression that I think the government should be managing or taxing these people. The donations and tithes people give to these scammers has already been taxed. The people who give it and the ones who receive it under dishonest scammy measures are all individually responsible for their choices.

I also was horrified by the ATF and Feds with what they did to Davidians and how they murdered those people. Just because I don't agree with some religion or cult doesnt mean I think the stupid government needs to be involved unless laws are being broken.

The founders would be horrified by the taxing and the waste. And the hyperpartisanship.

seriously sick.

all those soft hearted people who donated to his causes must feel foolish....
 
IF you are a charity in the USA you only have to give 5% of your takings to charity....

For instance,

The Harkles have a charity called Archewell... they only have to part with 5% of the money they raise.... all those dirt poor black kids MeAgain asked for a donation from, didn't know it was going to the Harkle mansion expenses...

I've interacted with some of those "soft hearted" people and they get shockingly defensive and will call you "one of those self righteous and judgemental" Christian's who are not like Jesus.

Not like their Jesus at least. They wont listen to any of the valid issues with the prosperity "gospel".

That's what they want to hear and what they want to do. I used to get mad at how predatory, dishonest and manipulative these false teachers are. But they are active participants in the scam.
