I Do Not Support the Spread of Christianity

I see the christians are launching another attack on secular life. :(

Why can't they understand that ordinary people are getting sick of their interference? If they want believe in fairy stories about a magical man-in-the-sky they're free to do so. They need to accept the fact that not everyone shares their delusions.

Matthew 22:21 Jesus said "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." Romans 13:1 "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those which exist are established by God."
I interpret this to mean that all established Churches should be taxed, just like corporations. And while we are at it, lets test all their products and services for performance against claims and truth in advertising.

@whowasthatmaskedman The christian church is a business, a very rich one that acquired its wealth by exploiting the poor and needy. :(

It's a parasite, taking the benefits paid for from our taxes and giving nothing back. They'd squeal like stuck pigs if they actually had to pay their way.

I agree.. But its not just the Christian franchises. Jewish and Islam also have their hands in the taxpaying pocket and don't get me started on Scientology.@suzie1960

@whowasthatmaskedman In the UK, the christians seem to be the main offenders although the others you mention aren't slow to take what they can.
