One of many complaints our founding fathers had with
England was paying taxes to support the Anglican Church. Many colonists found it a burden to support
their local ministry and a state sanctioned religion. That is what the Establishment Clause in the
First Amendment was really meant to prevent before it became bastardized by
progressives.
Maryland may not have an official green energy
religion, but they have exacted a tax on those who don’t preach their
gospel. It could be one of many factors
why a deep blue state elected a republican governor.
Now
Prince George’s Country is offering a way for churches to avoid paying the tax,
which is estimated to be an average of $744 per year for them — preach “green”
to their parishioners.
So far 30 pastors have agreed to begin
“‘green’ ministries to maintain the improvements at their churches, and to
preach environmentally focused sermons to educate their congregations” to avoid
being hit with the tax, The
Washington Post reports.
Prince George’s County’s Department of
Environment director Adam Ortiz told WBAL Radio churches “don’t have to preach,
per se,” that they could avoid the tax if they “provide educational programs to
teach them (parishioners) about how to be more sustainable. And to help them
engage in grant programs and other way that they can control the runoff from
their property.”
Man-made global warming is a religion to
progressives. This tax is a means to compel churches into preaching their gospel.
