We shouldn't tax churches but if they run a "Bookstore" or a school, they should be taxed out the anus like any other business.
>>73305358
>>73305358
Catholic schools are literally much better than public schools nowadays with the common core and shit. Taxing them will make it more inaccessible to those who can't pay more than what they do today.
>>73304365
This. Idiot leftists only understand "Christians Bad" so they miss the reasoning behind why church and state should be separate.
>>73303988
they have wandered off the path.
>>73303910
If clergy get paid from the church, yeah it should be taxed.
Churches with lay minstery and only volunteers, like Mormons, shouldn't get taxed no matter the size
>>73303910
The Church looks relatively cheap to build. No more than any concert hall or theater. And the church wasn't built by a corrupt contractor with tax money.
Also "American poverty". What is it, they are stuck with an iPhone 4?
If you start taxing churches then you have to task mosques as well. Good luck with that.
>>73303910
No taxation without representation.
Also Churches give a shit ton of money to and own charities that combat poverty for the population.

> taxing religious institutions
Let's start with the mosques and synagogues, OP, and see how things go, okay?
That "church" looks a lot like one of them Scientology gatherings. In which case, tax the fuck out of Scientology already. It's bullshit.
If it meets the legal definition of a 501(c) non-profit organization, it doesn't get taxed. I don't see the problem here.
Just because an organization is tax-free doesn't mean it can't have large/elaborate buildings, or its employees can't be independently wealthy or have large homes. It just means that profits if there are any have to be invested back in the business, as opposed to divvied out among owners, shareholders, etc.
And I can guarantee that most churches do far more to help out the poor and underprivileged than many other 501(c)'s.
>>73303910
>when the church looks like this
more population plus more technology
>the pastor's house looks like this
as if pastors are supposed to renounce wealth, as if that's money he gets from donations and not books and shit
as if the profit motive doesn't apply to religion as well, making it a good thing to spread the word of god
>1 in 3 children live in poverty
as if taxing churches will fix that
as if poverty is constantly redefined
as if you can cure a social problem innate in plebs by throwing money at it
I never thought I'd see the day where opposition to christfags is twice as retarded as christfags

We should only tax Catholics...at 70% rate. After all they taxed people in the past at a 10% tithe rate....and bible says something about avenged 7 fold so a 70% rate seems reasonable.

>>73304528
They're called mega churches. They're almost all evangelical and make lots of dosh because they get tons of donations so they make their churches larger to get more followers and more donations. Some of them even get tv contracts and have their sessions aired on sundays
>>73303910

Sure if you want them to have a say in government. It may just be better that way. Let the non new age church have a say. See how fast your degenerate lifestyle changes. You'll be begging the church to be tax free.
>>73307563
In theory seperation of church and state is a good idea and the church's should not have to pay taxes.
But this isn't how it's happening. The church, espcially Catholics play an active role in politics, as a result they need to pay their fair share: you're asking for a free lunch.
>>73307509
Protestantism existed for a long time before these abominations came about. It's an outgrowth of American "primitive" Christianity, coupled with American tackiness and greed.
If the church gets money from the people, then why not just tax the people?
>>73303988
It's not a protestant thing, it's an American thing
>>73303910
I generally don't care, so lean towards tax synagogues, 503's, churches, mosques. Kikes especially subvert American principles while not paying any tax.

They SHOULD stay off politics, but they don't. They can't help it.
It's true that starting to tax them might send them into overdrive as revenge, but it shouldn't last very long before being back to normal.
>>73308252
Separation of church and states works on the principle that the church stays out of politics and thus doesn't pay taxes. Thats what "No Taxation without Representation" means.
Church leaders opening promote politics of one kind or another and provide basically unofficial endorsements or disapproval of various politicians. Many political groups outright state they are acting in the interest of a certain church or religion. This is representation, so there must also be taxation.
>>73308237

Oh okay, so you have no problem fully removing Separation of Church and State then?
>in theory they shouldn't be taxes because separation of church and state
>but they get involved in different ways anyway

>this would mean getting rid of church and state as well
Did I get that right? And the Catholics themselves do pay their fair share. The individuals pay taxes. You're asking to pay their charitable donations.
>>73308037
But it is new age protestantism. At any rate, Catholicism and Orthodox are the way to go.

american churches are a travesty anyways.
they fill up halls for their sermons like it's some ticket for a show by Drake or some other degenerate celeb.

they are selling out this religion like it's fresh crack.
>>73303988

>>73309004
Only evangelical churches in the US are like that. Small branches of Protestantism like Presbyterians have the iconic overly simple down to earth chapel looking churches.
These giant stadium churches only appeal to dumbfuck bible thumpers that are arguably closer to Catholics in practice than they care to admit.
>>73308832
Part of the money that the "charity" goes to involves keeping the Vatacin and various Bishops afloat. These people, escpially the Pope go all around various countries playing politics. Right now the "charity" money is going towards helping the Pope tell every nation in Europe to break down their boarders.
So this is not at true charity, it's a merger of a real charity with a political orginztion. As a result of it's blatant politics that should be taxed too. Using charity as a tax shield to hide behind is disguesting and dishonest.
It's your call whether you want your religion to play by the rules of separation of church and state (which means staying out of politics). It is the church that has decided to try to cheat the system; if you want to play politics pay the entrance fee like everyone else. If you don't want to pay get out of politics.
>>73309544
>>73309544
That non-profit is hosted by a sovereign authority abroad and wouldn't be taxed in that respect to begin with. Charities have agendas which motivate how they act and they speak about their agendas. Is there an issue.
>It's your call whether you want your religion to play by the rules of separation of church and state (which means staying out of politics).
It's either no taxation without representation or the opposite. If you prefer them being there, then you have the accept it wholesale.
But I'm out for now. Have to go to work.
>>73309536
well, it's funny because I am catholic and in Austria there is no such a stadium structure for most of these religious events. those places usually get rented for esoterics and sects and then they have a whole convention built around that, if anything. I don't think the roman catholic church does a similar thing here. at least I'm not aware of it.
>>73309754
Suppose I started my own charity. 90% goes to feed puppies, 10% goes straight into the pockets of a political group. Would you say I am staying out of politics?
What the church does is use charity as a shield from which behind it plays politics in some of the most dirty ways possible. It has intionally twisted it so that is very difficult to seperate the politics from the charity. You donate to maintain a church which on Sunday gives out free food but at the same time has gatherings in which the preacher exposes politics of some kind or another and says that it is "holy" to side with one a certain political stance.
This is an intentional attempt to cheat the system by bundling them together. It's your call, either get out of politics and run a charity or play the game and pay the ticket fee.
>>73309544
You seem to be misunderstanding the whole thing about the separation of church and state. Having and advocating a certain set of political belief's is not the same thing as having representation. If you tax the church, they then have the means to have DIRECT power in government affairs. As in they can LOBBY for certain positions instead of just advocating them. Learn what the fuck you're talking about before you start typing.

There is just as much liberal politics in the Christianity as there is conservative, for example mainline Protestants, Uniterian Universialists, Reform Judaism. On the Catholic side it's even more Liberal post v2, with the current head of the church being a Proggresvist.
>Jesus and Joseph were refugees

The Old religions are self-destructing. The only reason liberal attacks are even effective is because the church in so many eras no longer has the will to live. The church of the old would have swatted away these attacks like flys, now they forfeit without a fight.

Yeah I'm kind of dumbfounded how Catholics think they can say protestants are "straying off the path" when Protestantism was basically originally conceived because Martin Luther felt the church and all it's non-scriptural practices and traditions was straying from the path.
Christ never commanded Christians to practice the Eucharist in rituals after doing it once, and he certainly never said that if you do it yourself you will also perform the miracle of turning wafers and wine into the literal body and blood of Christ. Christ never commanded his followers to adorn their chapels and churches with gaudy ornamentation and decoration.
Catholics strayed from the path, not protestants, protestants PROTESTED because the church was straying from the path.

With my own, fairly unbiased atheist viewpoint, I have been studying all the Abrahamic religions and offshoots out of mere curiosity. Not with a critical eye but an intrigued one. I have come to the conclusion that Christianity has the biggest wealth of evidence supporting it and that protestants adhere to scripture more than anyone else. A protestant baptist is often depicted as the christian fundamentalist/radical god hates fags type of christian and it is true. They shamelessly stick to every word of scripture and they never go back on it or expand upon it. If any were Abraham's chosen people today it would be protestant baptists.
