Summary
27 religious organizations are suing the Trump administration over its decision to allow ICE arrests at places of worship, reversing longstanding policy.
The lawsuit argues that detaining immigrants in churches violates the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Faith leaders say the policy has led to decreased attendance at worship services and social programs.
They seek a permanent injunction blocking immigration enforcement at religious sites, unless agents have a judicial warrant or are operating under “exigent circumstances.”
Go experience the real world. Many churches are just people trying to do the best they can and aren’t evil.
I understand you think churches are “good” based on what? Maybe community? So pay taxes then , what does a priest or pastor really do accept give counsel or average , novice therapy?
If you have to ask what clergy do, which is more than therapy, do you think you have an informed opinion on religion?
No, many of the people may be well meaning, but the church itself and the religion it represents are evil.
Again go experience the real world. Im not religious but I know a lot if really good people who are and their churches aren’t currently evil.
Buddy, I grew up in that world and know it intimately.
You know ALL the faiths? Seriously put your phone down and unplug.
What the fuck does that have anything to do with being on the phone? I truly cannot figure out how the two things are related in any way… Sounds like you’re stereotyping irreligious people as low information, terminally online, losers.
The conversation is about “churches” in the context of an article about US politics. So I was referring to Christianity, not “all the faiths.” What a ridiculous straw man.
No Im placing you firmly in the “internet atheist” camp that typically knows nothing about religions other than whatever they were brought up in/around.
There are tons of Christian churches and denominations that aren’t evil. The bishop who called out Trump at the Inaugural ceremony is part of one- The Episcopal Church of America.
You’re just espousing religious bigotry and that isn’t ok.
