I think Mosques and Temples and all religious institutions should pay taxes, I'm not bigoted. I'm an equal opportunity tax enthusiast.
Hell, some aheist "religious" organizations voluntarily pay taxes, despite all the charity work they do. And the churches have dunces online begging them to be left alone.
If you can't see the difference between "Hey, we know the world is shit, and we are sorry for the situation you are in, but here's what we're trying to do about and here's our philosophy on how to keep people from ending up in your situation" and "Hey, we know you're in s really shitty situation, but it could be a lot worse if you die and haven't converted to our religion," then I don't really see s point in continuing this conversation. That moral failing is beyond my ability to reason.
Can you point to the parts of anarchism that say you will be tortured by a loving god for all eternity if you don't convert?
Anarchist groups and leftist charities don't make promises on the afterlife to people in need, do you not see how that is a problem?
Yes. I'm not sure why you seem confused. The premise is churches should pay taxes. I'm not sure what you don't understand about that. They should pay taxes. They are influencing people's opinions on our politics and policies. They should pay taxes. They are influencing people in their weakest moments. They should pay taxes. Do you understand that I believe any religious institution should pay taxes? I hope you aren't confused still.
If they operated full time as a food bank and didn't proselytize to the people they are helping, then they shouldn't pay taxes. If they preach and try to convert people to their religion during their service, then I'm going to bet they try to do that to the people they feed. Preying upon people in their weakest moments is not a good thing to do, but it's all I've ever seen Christians do
Edit: "Marianists emphasized the power of small communities to “renew Christianity” following the French Revolution." If this is their emphasis, then they should definitely be paying taxes.
"Flarking" is a Marvel space curse-word. I think in media I hear Rocket and Captain Marvel say it the most.
I've been feeling pretty nostalgic and wanting to ignore the world, so I've been playing Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Before that I was playing Marvel's Midnight Suns for a while.
...the entire premise of my argument is that religious institutions should be taxed. Why the fuck would I care about non-religious charities being taxed? You're literally crying the sky is blue.
