- franklymister, on 04/23/2008, -6/+296From the IRS web site:
In order to initiate a church tax inquiry, "The IRS can obtain the information supporting a reasonable belief from many sources, including but not limited to:
* Newspaper or magazine articles or ads,
* Television and radio reports,
* Internet web pages,
* Voters guides created and/or distributed by the church,
* Documents on file with the IRS (e.g. a Form 990-T filed by the church), and
* Records concerning the church in the possession of third parties or informants."
http://www.irs.gov/charities/churches/article/0,,i ...
Official IRS policy is that all churches are prohibited from "any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for political office." They are clear that leaders of churches can speak as individuals, but that making "partisan comments in official organization publications or at official church functions" is prohibited. Look at page 7 of the IRS Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf

Isn't PRIDE [hubris, vanity] one of the 7 deadly sins? Maybe he should re-read the 'good' book.
Of course, why would one remove a sign of hatred from "the church of god"... ***** fundie idiots. - IdiggElvis, on 04/23/2008, -1/+237How about I take out a full page ad in the Jonesville town paper asking "Is pastor Roger Byrd a pedophile?" You know, "just to get people thinking".

- gsadamb, on 04/23/2008, -3/+131This church needs its tax-exempt status revoked. It's clearly taking part in politics.
- homerj1965, on 04/23/2008, -17/+145Anybody have the church's phone number so Digger's can educate this preacher type person?
- triplehelix, on 04/23/2008, -4/+125any christian that thinks all muslims are terrorist kinda missed the message of their religion eh?
- The_Wallbanger, on 04/23/2008, -2/+114If pride won't allow the minister from removing his sign, maybe an IRS investigation into his church's tax exempt status would? [By law, churches cannot engage in partisan political activity.]

- theutopian, on 04/23/2008, -18/+96This is why there is no hope whatsoever for this country.
- eliot2000, on 04/23/2008, -1/+76You, sir, get an A+ in internets.
- Coven, on 04/23/2008, -3/+70"and no other theory"
except plate tectonics - str1fe, on 04/23/2008, -3/+59This is what's wrong with America. It's not even that people don't like Obama - I do, but if you don't, to each his own. What's wrong with America is the whole "judging books by their cover" concept. People see that his name is Barack Hussein Obama and assume him to have a pro-Muslim agenda, and these same people equate Muslim with terrorism, both of which are baseless assumptions and couldn't be farther from the truth.
- jordanau, on 04/23/2008, -4/+59I just want to thank South Carolina for making Alabama not look so bad.
- inactive, on 04/23/2008, -4/+56You hate America. There just cause some yahoo said it does it make it true? Do you like repeating propaganda?
Oh and just throw Bin Laden in there for good measure because that makes sense.
Your completely wrong but if you want to follow through on your ***** logic look at the people george bush associates himself with. Hes best friends with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia everyone in Saudi Arabia hates America, 8 of the 11 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis so therefore George bush hates America right?
***** idiot. - sny1120, on 04/23/2008, -1/+51comparing a first name to another person's last name and it is off by one letter and one person is on the other side of the planet....this is an all time low
how about george bush and boy george?
john mccain and elton john ?
donald rumsfeld and ronald mcdonald? - Zarokima, on 04/23/2008, -4/+51The pastor should start thinking a little bit himself.
"is [Obama] Muslim ? I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. " --Pastor Roger Byrd - DekarCorvus, on 04/23/2008, -28/+74just more proof religion is the biggest form of evil left in the world. Nothing seems to spawn more hatred and lack of respect towards our fellow man then arguing about religion.
ironic since most religions claim to support peace and understanding... guess thats just in the brochure...its how they get ya!
Religion no longer has a place in society. people don't need any more reasons to kill each other or hate each other. frankly religion was used in the past so the ruling class can instill fear in the working class and get them to co-operate. now we are at the point were the ruling class just does what the want anyway...and we are just sitting in a steaming pile of there waste...arguing over who's beliefs are right or wrong...all the while the ruling class makes all our life changing choices for us...
wake up and do something about it....
if there was infact a god...why doesn't he make more examples out of us like he supposedly did in sodom and gamorrah? there is no way those stone age cities had more sin then we have in the world now...
oh thats right...its just a story...
a story written by many men...told over many years left to many interpretations...
face it. the book is flawed...we need to set out own standards on how we live and stop the ruling class from having all the power... - lelandpalmer, on 04/23/2008, -9/+55What a moron.
- gordonj, on 04/23/2008, -2/+46"Actually there is geological proof, in Washington state, that the earth was covered with water at one time - globally covered."
I'm just curious, but how does "proof" in Washington state constitute evidence of a global flood? Logically there would be geological evidence on a GLOBAL scale for a GLOBAL flood. - DekarCorvus, on 04/23/2008, -1/+42Dekar supports this post...
- Shapdawg1, on 04/23/2008, -7/+47I was just asking a question. You don't need proof to ask a question.
- franklymister, on 04/23/2008, -6/+46You're only playing into their hands. They're the church equivalent of an internet troll. Ignore them.
- Jareth86, on 04/23/2008, -5/+45"Durrrr... Obama and Osama rhyme. he must be a bad guy!"
...Seriously, the electorate in this country are a bunch of second grade retards. - giveer, on 04/23/2008, -1/+40"Is your mother a whore?' What? I'm not saying she's a whore. I'm just wondering out loud if she is a whore. All I'm saying is that reasonable people who have banged your mother for money can disagree." - Jon Stewart, 2006
- drbyers, on 04/23/2008, -22/+61Southern churches are full of racist rednecks who use ignorance as an excuse for racism.
He's not a preacher. He's just a lowly 'tard... and his congregation is full of idiots for following him.
The blind shall lead the blind. - Coven, on 04/23/2008, -2/+41Rev Wright ENLISTED in the Marines in the middle of Vietnam, and you dare question his patriotism?
- inactive, on 04/23/2008, -2/+41"You can't say he's Muslim and inflict Rev. Wright (Christian) at the same time. "
Of course they can. The extreme right wing doesn't need to make sense. If making sense was required no one would have ever believed Iraq was some sort of threat to the USA. That was always as ridiculous as the claim that Grenada was a threat. - franklymister, on 04/23/2008, -2/+41The problems with taking the idea of a global flood literally are outlined well in this article: http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/evolution/Creationi ...
But to put it simply, where would you expect to get enough water to flood the earth, and where would it go afterwards?
There is evidence of a deluge in ancient times, but it would have been limited to an area around the Black Sea. A catastrophe, and enough to launch tales of a great flood, but by no means an earth-covering, continent-engulfing, Mt. Everest-drowning, worldwide flood. - jd33, on 04/23/2008, -3/+37Who care's about Osama, who's this Osma guy? I bet he's a real badass, I'm hiding.
- eir574, on 04/23/2008, -0/+34@Christianptriot:
You're illustrating one of the main problems with much of the creation "science" I've seen. You say there are fossils of plants in Washington state that are only found in the middle east and that this is evidence of a global flood. However, the fact that this evidence isn't inconsistent with a global flood doesn't mean that it's evidence that a global flood actually happened, especially not when one considers that the observation could be explained by plate tectonics and continental drift. - inactive, on 04/23/2008, -2/+35I agree, we should have learned before the 2004 elections the the right wing is ***** insane.
- suttercain, on 04/23/2008, -17/+49Anyone who believes in Zombies are backwards. Anyone who believes that the Earth was covered in water within the past 6000 years are backwards. Argue you all you want. Truth is truth, fiction is fiction.
- talonstriker, on 04/23/2008, -1/+33Yes THERE IS evidence. It has been documented that preists have had inappropriate relations with little boys... This guy is a priest, therefore one can safely suspect him of being a child molestor
(following your and his logic of course) - ApokalypseNow, on 04/23/2008, -1/+33Plant fossils in Washington are not evidence of a global flood, or even of a local flood. All this is evidence of is either a) plate tectonics and continental drift, or b) historical climate change. The problem with Creationist "interpretations" of the evidence is that they walk into the exercise with the preconceived, unevidenced notion that these events actually happened, then try to make the evidence fit that mold.
Simply put, there is no evidence of a global flood, and much evidence to the contrary.

I spend so much time explaining Christianity and why some of the things we do seem crazy or why this person believes this thing that is actually crazy etc. but dangit, this isn't helping.
sigh.
Please remember all Christians are just people. A Christian is no more likely to be closed minded and dumb then anyone else. And this is closed minded and dumb and frustrating and infuriating and I'm sorry if I sound angry but I am. This isn't what Christ taught. Christ taught understanding, patience, knowledge. Kindness. Above all else Kindness.
I'd rather lose an election because I didn't stoop so low as to be unkind. And if you pass on misinformation to win an election then you are a cowered and a sinner. The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ Himself gave you one little tiny commandment "Love eachother as He first loved us". Try doing that.
This is not Christianity, this is not Christ. This is a frightened coward clinging to lies so he doesn't have to change. Bah, i say! Be brave! Be bold!
How can evolution scare you? God invented it, I think He's ok with it. Why do homosexuals scare you? Are you worried God doesn't have enough love for you if He lets your brother in too? Bah!
Vote for the candidate who will take care of the poor, who will feed the hungry, visit the prisoner. Don't vote for the one who will take care of the rich, stifle science.
Don't vote out of fear of anything. I'm not saying Obama's HopeTrain is the way to go. I don't like hope much, Actions are better. but fear is worse. What are you afraid of, if God is with you? How can you be afraid our morals, our families, or country will fail if you are with God? If we are Kind we will be fine.
I promise. - inactive, on 04/23/2008, -1/+31Explain it to us.
- glasnostic, on 04/23/2008, -2/+32no i don't think a bigot should just be ignored. i think they should be publicly shamed.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -8/+37the sad thing is, people like this are allowed to vote…
- asauterChicago, on 04/23/2008, -2/+31According to the bible, we're all brothers right? So I fail to see the point of the reverends question. He himself, by his teachings, is a brother of Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama. Unless he forgot about a pretty important passage: "For ye are all the children of God"... which is kind of the point of the whole bible, you know "love they brother"
but maybe the good reverend can take this passage to heart " You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat your brother or sister with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat." - str1fe, on 04/23/2008, -1/+30He likes talking in short sentences, it seems.
- inactive, on 04/23/2008, -1/+29Way to disgrace Canadians u racist son of a bitch. I seriously hope that someone helps you wake-up sometime soon for ur own good and for the good of society.
- cheezintern, on 04/23/2008, -1/+28Does he have sex with his sister and family pets regularly? I don't know. It makes you think.
I like this form of questioning, you can really have some fun with it. - Zarokima, on 04/23/2008, -2/+28There is no indication whatsoever that Obama has any connection whatsoever with Osama, and asking a simple question like IdiggElvis proposed is not libel -- it's a question to get people thinking, not an outright statement.
- inactive, on 04/23/2008, -1/+27It's nice that you are reaching out to the ***** insane voters. Good luck, but I think you'll find they already vote Republican.
- heypetray, on 04/23/2008, -1/+27Can anybody confirm this?
& Franklymister is right. You can't argue with stupid people. They bring you down to their level where they have all the experience. -
