3 Texas Churches Sue FEMA Over Policy Banning Churches From Receiving Harvey Disaster Relief
http://www.christianpost.com/news/3-texas-churches-sue-fema-policy-banning-churches-from-receiving-hurricane-harvey-disaster-relief-198170/

FEMA’s policy blocks churches and other places of worship from receiving aid, due to the >>> SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE.<<<
The policy has been questioned during a number of other natural disasters in the past, such as when Superstorm Sandy ravaged New York back in 2012.
“Hurricane Harvey didn’t cherry-pick its victims; FEMA shouldn’t cherry-pick whom it helps.”

However:
FEMA Loves To Use Church Facilities To Set Up Relief Shelters
"It's time for FEMA to start helping the helpers, not continue a policy of irrational discrimination against churches,"

"There are rowdy beer halls, sleazy nightclubs, and smutty 'adult' stores, even witchy botánica businesses — all open and thriving again because of generous grants from the tax-payers' pockets..."

Churches are tax exempt and most of them rob their members by collecting tithes.

Anyone who actually reads the bible knows that tithing is a Jewish law not meant for gentiles.

So churches should not be allowed to receive FEMA relief.

FEMA funding comes from taxpayers.

Therefore only taxpayers should receive it.

Churches don't pay taxes so they are on their own.......................period !

Nobody who does not pay taxes should get any FEMA help ? Only taxpayers should get help ? Everybody else can just suffer ? However, I foresee an awful lot of Democrat v**ers under your policy being left homeless.

If you want to tithe to a church voluntarily, then by all means, knock yourself out.

But if you think you are obligated to give even a thin dime to a church, you are sadly mistaken.

Try actually reading the bible sometimes.

But before you do, pray for understanding.

Because you've made it quite obvious that you're an indoctrinated Christian.

No, they certainly should not receive aid.

They should be the first to PROVIDE aid.

I must agree on this point. Churches are meant to take care of their own and others in dire straits. Most churches do this as a matter of course. However, FEMA doesn't always act rationally. As a victim of Katrina I happen to know that for a fact. Like a lot of other government offices, it is run by embiciles in many cases.

It's All Voluntary

All Voluntary

But The Topic Of Discussion Is Not The Bible
It's FEMA's Own In-House Policy Of Not Helping Harmed Churches
Under The Pretense Of Separation
Yet FEMA Gladly Using Church Facilities For Relief Efforts

So, to hell with people who don't fund the government. That's what you call Christian? Personally, I'd rather help those in need than surrender my money to a thoroughly corrupt government, or suffer the loss when the government steals it from me.
