grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 They get tax exemptions?! Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Almost any group calling itself a religion can get tax-exempted in the U.S., yes. Not sure how it works in other countries, but I believe it's similar in the UK. Temples and shrines here also, I think. It's a terrific scam. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just like I don't need a wedding ring to "remind" me I'm married, I don't need religion to make me aware that there is a god. Riding a massive wave, skiing waist deep powder, watching my daughter grow, enjoying a rare night when my band is in the "zone", a glass of Pinot and a nice cigar out on the deck....... You're damned right there's a god. There's no need to complicate things.....Religion just gets in the way. Religion is just symbolism and I leave symbols for the symbol minded.
