NEW: “No Separation Between Church and State”: Inside a Texas Church’s Training Academy for Christians Running for Office

--
A Fort Worth church’s candidate training program is the “next stage” of a religion-driven political movement, which has more latitude now that the IRS has allowed religious leaders to endorse candidates from the pulpit, an expert said.

@ProPublica We’re edging ever closer to a christo-fascist Gilead.

@ProPublica Yeah like Josh Hawley thinks Christofascism is the ultimate shoe of devotion to Jesus.
KKKonservatism should be outlawed.

@ProPublica the church is so high on power or the appearances of power that they have truly become lost in the sense they themselves preach

I think "churches" must be heavily regulated. Unless they have the sole purpose of social welfare programs they can NOT get tax-exempt status at all. It's disgusting how rich they have become by whining about persecution. What this "church" is doing is blatantly illegal. Every Christofascist "Supreme" must be removed because they don't work for the rule of law and citizens. They work for their sick cult.

@ProPublica The USA: A Nation founded on religious freedom, is now becoming a Christo-Fascist white-controlled ethnostate. I'm sure the founding fathers will be spinning in their graves come thanksgiving.

@ProPublica That is no surprise as they are funded by billionaires like Peter Thiel. Not surprising but still scary as hell

It's been going on for more than a decade. The church I used to attend in Tampa, FL (I left it all in early 2016) has a branch of their Bible School called the School of Government. It teaches people how to push the conservative agenda in ANY elected position. It's some scary shit.

@ProPublica Has there ever been separation between church and state in the US? Certainly it's a a whole new crazy level in Trumpistan!

Where to learn to be a huge hypocrite, and that "God's an anti-vaxer," and other dangerously stupid things.
