It's estimated that around 80 billion a year would be collected from churches if they were taxed as a whole.

Why not? What's the big deal? The Church of Satan pays taxes. Christian churches should follow their example and do the same.

Yes, because a vested interest by the government into the health of religious organizations cant possibly go wrong. And certainly doesnt bring up separation of church and state issues.

Well, seeing as religion is a bunch of bullshit anyway (adults believing in imaginary friends and fairy tales, picking and choosing what they want to believe from a 2,000 year old book, etc the list goes on about why religion is outdated and stupid to believe in,) I think it's about time we stopped treating them specially, and started treating them like the 'special people' that they are.

Go open your Bible and read that for yourself.

If you agree with those verses in the Bible then you are a psychopath sir.

If you don't then you are picking a choosing what you want to believe in from the Bible, and that's cool, but I wouldn't say you could call yourself a true Christian if you do that.

Sounds like you have a predetermined bias, thank you for admitting it, it will make it far easier to ignore your posts on the subject of religion from now on.
