Quote by: Simonius  No... we should pay tax to pay for specific services provided to us by the Government.
If I want to give my hard earned cash to a Priest because I believe he is the earthly agent of a divine being then that is my own concern, and not the Governments. It is a private arrangement between two people.
All people and institutions should be taxed according to what the Government provides to them (plus a small profit). |
So when the church catches on fire I assume you would be okay with letting it burn? Firefighters are not free and if there is a crime police arent free either. Also the roads that lead to the church must be payed for somehow.
Perhaps government should be blind to religion and treat it like every other group.
