      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.

          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.

              …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 don’t need to accept anything besides you trying to equate two inequal concepts. A system of government/political philosophy doesn’t equal a religion. I was very open in my initial comments on taxing religions. You’re the one trying to manipulate things into a gotcha to say things I’m not.
