So I will say this to my brothers in Christ: TYFYS during the pandemic.
Private (in person) Christian school saved Lil' Piss from academis hell during 2020- 21 (1st grade) and now he's reading at well above his grade level (3rd now). I'm a cheap fuck who hates the idea of private school - provided the public option is good to great - so we moved back to public elementary last year.
Sadly, he's forgotten most of the Sermon Seeking curriculum and appears to be on a path towards eternal damnation, unless Mrs. Snow can inject more of her spiritual deism.
You'll be back when future Gov. Kotek or whatever other commie gets elected Governor down there requires your kids to get the jab to attend the "free" school. I assume you've already made peace with his future as a gas-pumping Duck grad?
*Boov is more likely unless we can get can get an athletic scholarship

In 1972 92% of Americans said they were Christian, Pew reported, but by 2070 that number will drop to below 50% – and the number of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans – or ‘nones’ will probably outnumber those adhering to Christianity.

It's a beautiful thing- i.e., no state religion or prohibition on religious belief.

I’m not completely opposed to this as I think the whole tax system in this country is fucked up and needs to be reformed from top to bottom, but anytime people pick on churches it’s not done with a lot of thought/knowledge of the current system, and they especially don’t consider the unforeseen consequences.
It’s tough because the secular (government/ruler/businesses) and religion have in a strange way been doing this weird system of checks and balances throughout history. When one side gets too powerful or corrupted, the other side balances the scales. But I digress.
Most aren’t aware that the clergy actually do pay income taxes in most cases:
And some churches pay property taxes, but only get exemptions from it if they perform certain charitable services just like their secular nonprofit counterparts:

So @dnc I randomly polled 3 devout sermon seekers recently at my company to see if they could answer (a) in what year (or at least the century) in which the Council of Nicaea occurred and (b) its significance.
None had heard of it as"it's not mentioned in the Bible".
