      Yes. I’m not sure why you seem confused. The premise is churches should pay taxes. I’m not sure what you don’t understand about that. They should pay taxes. They are influencing people’s opinions on our politics and policies. They should pay taxes. They are influencing people in their weakest moments. They should pay taxes. Do you understand that I believe any religious institution should pay taxes? I hope you aren’t confused still.

          Anarchist groups and leftist charities don’t make promises on the afterlife to people in need, do you not see how that is a problem?

              Can you point to the parts of anarchism that say you will be tortured by a loving god for all eternity if you don’t convert?

                  If you can’t see the difference between “Hey, we know the world is shit, and we are sorry for the situation you are in, but here’s what we’re trying to do about and here’s our philosophy on how to keep people from ending up in your situation” and “Hey, we know you’re in s really shitty situation, but it could be a lot worse if you die and haven’t converted to our religion,” then I don’t really see s point in continuing this conversation. That moral failing is beyond my ability to reason.
