    Anarchist groups do in fact influence people’s views. You just want a different standard because you theoretically support leftism and not religions.

    If your objection is to religions having religious views then that is just bigotry.

      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?

        You cannot explain why one charity should pay no taxes versus the other except that one holds religious views that differ from yours. That’s why I keep saying the real issue is your bigotry.

        The “crime” these churches should be punished for is not agreeing with you.

          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.

            Yes, as I have said you agree with one of those and not the other so in your mind one is acceptable and therefore entitled to tax breaks and the one you do not agree with should not get those tax breaks. The difference is your agreement with their views.

            Given the overt bigotry you have displayed I don’t think you should highlight your reasoning skills.

              I think Mosques and Temples and all religious institutions should pay taxes, I’m not bigoted. I’m an equal opportunity tax enthusiast.

              Hell, some aheist “religious” organizations voluntarily pay taxes, despite all the charity work they do. And the churches have dunces online begging them to be left alone.

                Your exception was for the non-religious charity so you seem to have an anti-religion bias.

                Again given the bigotry you have displayed here I don’t think you should attempt to debase any one else’s thinking.

                  …the entire premise of my argument is that religious institutions should be taxed. Why the fuck would I care about non-religious charities being taxed? You’re literally crying the sky is blue.

                    I made a comparison between two food charities one a church and the other an anarchist one. You want the church to pay and not the anarchist org because you agree with the anarchist org and disagree with the religion. That means the only difference is that one charity is religious.

                    If you have a problem with religions to the point where you want them to engage in less charity because they are religious then you are bigoted against religions.

                    This isn’t hard to follow rather it is hard for you to accept your bigotry.
