    Default The Religio-Industrial Complex



    Watch 5 minutes of this and you will be hooked. This guy explains in detail how religious institutions take advantage of tax breaks and the American people and how big the picture actually is.

    I'd love to hear a theists perspective/opinion on this

    Great video, Pad. I did get hooked. If we can't stop this phenomenon, maybe we should start a church and get preacher/minister licenses to live tax free. 'The Universal Church of Cosmic Uncertainty', and we can say a few tongue-in-cheek prayers to FSM or the like. Below the church we could grow lots of weed (or construct a HUGE meth lab), would anyone have the right to investigate?

    ...if I showed a video on militant atheism in the soviet union would it appeal to you? Man, these kinds of 'christians' are not the majority. I have proof too - check the congregation members' bank accounts

    That's irrelevant. There are enough of these kinds of Christians to cause a problem for everybody else. Not to mention any amount of advanced ignorance on such levels must be stopped. We hire police to protect us (they do a shitty job, but that's also irrelevant), why aren't there people or laws to protect ignorant people for falling for stuff like this?

    Isn't the problem a false sense of entitlement stemming from an ideology? I notice the Amish around here have no problem using the roads, yet do not want to contribute at all to paying for them. And no one thinks they should...why? Because they believe something that they can not support or demonstrate to us. I respect their right to believe what they want, but why should it mean so much to a society as to donate resources? How does believing in something which requires faith entitle anyone to anything but that faith?

    My mother is a Christian and, like most, she would never consider cheating the tax code and stacking the deck. Yet, she has no problem with the difference between her tax burden and the churches. While it may be true that most Christians would not lie or cheat, it's also true that most of American society, Christian or not, is fine with the tax break. Strangely they are also fine with the church having political influence, which suggests they are not concerned with separation of church and state. So, the illusion of entitlement isnt restricted to only those who follow the ideology. The church has managed to take the political notion of separation and turn it into a religious privilege. They have put themselves into a position where it is not only OK to make laws which effectively force ideological principals onto others, but also OK to avoid laws which apply to others. Religion was intended to have no political position, and managed to gain the ultimate political position. Play without pay.

    The problem with militant atheists is fascism which arises outside of the ideology. There is nothing about being unconvinced of God which requires evangelism. There are no atheistic principals to force onto others, no atheist laws that exist beyond the need to keep religion in check. Atheism is without content.
