That's a somewhat reasonable opinion to hold. The problem is in this case the government made the churches close.I have a very hard time reconciling a church having access to government benefits when they fight so hard to maintain their lack of oversight from the government.
Valid points, but strikes me as a different conversation from "Should churches qualify for PPP?" Nonprofits lobbying is a gross and common practice that definitely occurs outside of just religious groups.Probably has something to do with the abuse of the system as a whole that I see coming from "moral majority" land which has infected so much of politics and actively tries to steer the govt and how it spends without contributing to it.
Being geographically blocked by Liberty/Falwell and Regent/Robertson definitely puts me in the perspective that if you want the benefits of "separation of church and state" then you really do need to remain separate. If you're going to work for a political party and participate in government then you need to participate accordingly with your dollars being taxed like every other business.
