    Let’s not pretend that Texas churches weren’t always doing this. That rule was always notoriously under-enforced anyway.

    It’s interesting that we’re referencing the mega churches. Most if not all or incorporated as corporations. With the pastors being primarily the only voice that is running the corporation. But sure call them religious organizations.

    The Evangelical Republic of Magastan taking shape more and more. It will soon be mandatory for every American household (including non-Christian ones) to put a Bible in the middle of the dining table between a cross and a statue of Jesus (a White Jesus, of course).
