That you don't see the difference between a church and a trade union, newspaper, business or civic organization demonstrates just how spiritually bankrupt you actually are...

A church that endorses political candidates is no different than a trade union, a newspaper, a business or civic organization or any other collective body that seeks to enforce a particular ideology through political means.
An electorate will make decisions based upon it's values, expectations and experiences. If some voters are sectarian then it's reasonable to expect some sectarian ideals to influence decision making. Do you favor a Thought Police now as well?
Why do the faithful as demonstrated by membership in a "church" have any less right to collectively lobby on issues of common importance vis a vis campaigning than any other organization?

It has to do with tax exempt status. It is that simple.
Individuals and institutions have rights to peaceful political assembly. It's clear that fuckheads like you view Christians as a threat to your anti-family agenda of homo marriage and abortion on demand.
I don't view real genuine Christians who strive to be Christ-like a threat at all.
It is the full of shit so called Christians like you that are the problem. Full on materialistic, greedy, racist sons a bitch Christians who embrace what Christ spoke against.
