📝 Episode Summary:
Buckle up, blasphemers—this week’s episode of Sacrilegious Discourse takes a red-hot poker to the Johnson Amendment, that dusty 1954 rule designed to keep churches from morphing into tax-free political machines. Spoiler alert: the IRS just whispered “go ahead” to pulpit endorsements—so long as it’s done in “good faith” (LOL), during “usual religious channels” (double LOL), and preferably with dark money and zero consequences.
Hosts Husband and Wife—your favorite godless duo—break down how this IRS court filing didn’t technically change the law, just eviscerated it with a wink and a sermon. We’re talking about churches now being unofficial super PACs, taxpayer-subsidized political propaganda, and the creeping death of democracy dressed in clerical robes. There’s rage, sarcasm, and a brief detour into defining “harm” that turns into a full-on debate about free speech, Nazis, and why “family discussions” shouldn’t involve campaign endorsements and theocracy cosplay.
They also torch the media’s milquetoast coverage—NPR, NYT, and Christianity Today all get dragged for their sins of omission, soft framing, and “both sides” nonsense. And yes, Wife literally shouts, “Let’s stand for the dick the way we didn’t stand for the vagina!” So if you thought we wouldn’t end this episode with righteous fury and a call to action… you must be new here.
