Reddit is straight jacking off over this, but I feel some type of way. I put in a post saying I ain’t feeling the tax the church movement, and I ain’t trying to be a pawn for gay shyt , but I got ate up.

on the fence about taxing churches but the state should treat individuals equally regardless of sex or orientation

Depends on how you read marriage rights... but really, who cares

I don't see why churches/religious institutions shouldn't be taxed on income that isn't given away to non-profits.

Churches should obviously be taxed.

This. I'm deeply committed to Jesus and I belong to a church and I think religion is basically a good thing...but the church should pay taxes on everything except for charity work. Whatever they're collecting for salaries, buildings, operating expenses, etc. should be taxed.

Honestly I think a lot of other things should be taxed too. Concert halls, art museums, private colleges, social clubs like Rotary, none of that shyt should be tax-exempt either unless you're really explicitly providing a general public service and not primarily serving the rich.

Imagine people thinking that gay people who get ostracised heavily in society and a large amount of em get shat on by their own family have privilege
People pull shyt outta their asses

in 2021 i dont understand why people think they should be able to restrict rights from a whole other grown person. you dont have to support or partake, but why actively restrict something that has no impact on you?

and religious institutions should be taxed. they benefit from public spending and often provide a lifestyle above subsistence for the executives of the institution.

Religion has too much political clout. It effects policy and non religious peoples lives.


There is no separation of church and state anymore.
