People once gave their lives fighting taxation and you are asking for more taxes?

Probono · 08-06-2012, 05:25 PM

God would be pissed if the church had to pay taxes.

You can drive through any black neighborhood in the US and there are a few that have already done this. My parent's old neighbor lived in a huge house about 10 miles from the inner city and his church. He drove a big Caddy while his wife had her Merc SL. They lived it up while their "church" was in a shitty neighborhood. They were people willing to sell out their own, to live the good life...and they did.

These kinds of churches are big business.

The only man that doesn't have to pay taxes is the imaginary one.

Isn't the Catholic Church the single largest landowner in the US besides the government? If so, look how they got there.

Fuck more rovers. How about fixing roads and updating schools?

I posted this because many people here are complaining for wasting money on discovering Mars etc. This is a great comparative image of how much is this really.

With these money you don't even need roads, you could make cars fly

suesheboy · 08-07-2012, 03:58 AM

No church should be tax exempt.

Watch how many REAL religious people there are then willing to give so much to the church.

Science is a job creator and forwards humanity. Name how a church with any serious following has forwarded humanity since 2,000?

PS I better ad for full disclosure that I am ordained as worked for more than 10 years as a volunteer Chaplin not accepting a cent in payment.

factually false, straw man, false equivalence, red herring - all four in one.

cant you right wingers construct a logical argument for anything? especially when good ones are so easily at hand.

SilentKnight · 08-07-2012, 04:20 AM

We'd probably have our flying cars by now if it weren't for religion.

Confined · 08-07-2012, 04:41 AM

I fucking hate taxes as much as the next guy, but I'm all for taxing the shit out of churches and other bullshit fronts in our society.

gideongallery · 08-07-2012, 04:55 AM

imagine how many mars rovers we could have if we taxed all charities too.

that what you would have to do btw to taxes churches because if you started taxing churches they would simply shift the collection to 503 corporate donations and still be fully tax exempt.

btw how many mars rovers could we have if we added a 25% tax on porn.

Then again everything relying on people's stupidity is.

Only half of the number of mars rovers we could have if we added a 50% tax on porn.

All religions enjoy equal freedom. So tax those equally.

Where did you get that from?

In many ways, religions do pay taxes. They pick up the pieces that fall through the cracks.
