Main Paineframe posted:Do they have any evidence beyond "well, that's what they said and clearly no one has ever lied in politics"? Because I'm saying that no, religion has not been shown to play a meaningful role in the political beliefs of the "Religious" Right, something that should be utterly obvious from the existence of people who are of the exact same religion but do not share those political beliefs. So why have special exemptions for religious institutions in the first place? Just because you have a very strong belief in something even in theory shouldn't mean you get to oppress other people over it.

Sinnlos posted:It's actually part of a bargain between the federal government and organized religion. Don't get involved in politics, and you don't need to pay taxes. Granted, the first part could use better enforcement. Yeah, but we're not talking about churches not paying tax, we're talking about not only churches but also random other places claiming they get to discriminate because ~religion~

rudatron posted:I don't think that's anti-LGBT so much as just anti-marriage, or rather, the institutionalization of a private relationship. no you see, hetero marriage is more privilege and therefore less oppressed by banning all marriage

Darth Walrus posted:Ye gods, people, five pages and no actual theology discussion? I'd at least have expected a bit on dominionism and/or the prosperity gospel, given the religious leanings of the current runner-up (and possible Presidential candidate) in the Republican primary. The Gospel of Supply Side Jesus. Supply of marriage certificates (no homo), that is.

It's quite funny how some people have deloped enough of a persecution complex that anything less than total 100% agreement means someone is trying to oppress them.
