Time to End Tax Exemption for Religions?

[Greater Cesnica]

Westerners and their slave obsession I tell you. Slavery was a part of life in the ancient world from religion to housekeeping to mining. It was very morally wrong of course but this concept of everything pre-1900 being directly linked to slavery is cringe.

What I find cringe is that people inculcated in religious "knowledge" can take a dumb joke so personally. I guess they're so accustomed to taking laughably wrong stuff seriously ...

You're in the wrong here. Admit that and move on.

Zoroastrianism is still practiced even today in both the Middle East and the US particularly. The fact that your attaching slavery to it simply because it’s ancient sadly reeks of ignorance. The ancient days of temple slaves are well and done, the faith itself can linger.

Of course you said my “views”, not my “religion”. I mean I’d assume leftism isn’t outdated and based on slavery...

Seriously do better and educate yourself.

You're a persian?

My father is French-American and my mother is Punjab mixed with a little Persian. (She’s 3/4 Indian and 1/4 Persian.)

Nice. I’m part Armenian myself.

I vote no. They are non-profit organizations. Why should they be singled out among other non-profit organizations just because they are religious? They provide charity to many, including homeless shelters and food assistance, and their schools are an alternative to the government-run schools. So even if you are against religion, perhaps you can see the value in helping religious organizations survive.

So the sun won’t eventually stop emitting light, the Big Bang never happened, humans aren’t made of water, and we don’t evolve?
Huh.
