Exactly, having to not pay taxes lets them survive and function. That function is worthwhile for the government
Donations are usually tax-exempt no?
So why should they be taxed?
It runs off of donations
There's other taxes, no?
I'm not exactly sure of the structure in America tbh
Wait, I'm saying that they shouldn't be taxed
They aren't taxed so that they don't have influence over government
It's not because the Church get a special favour from the state
Read Biblical Basis for War
<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝️
**-** When is violence justified? Is it ever? What scripture do you use to assert your beliefs?
violence is only justified in self defence and im not gonna use scripture since i am not religious but im interested in religion ok bye
When the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
both answers kinda cringe
@Niveusater Cringe
Violence is only justified if its deemed good in the eyes of god, and whats deemed good in the eyes of god is already presented in scripture, so self defense
@Sentient23 Read Siege lmao.
Violence always epic
REED SEEJ
ok
Nice.
ikr
Justified entirely
Time between fall of man (Adam and Eve) and the great flood
`"After a missing section in the tablet, we learn that the gods have decided to send a flood to destroy mankind. The god Enki (lord of the underworld sea of fresh water and Sumerian equivalent of Babylonian god Ea) warns Ziusudra, the ruler of Shuruppak, to build a large boat (the passage describing the directions for the boat is also lost).
When the tablet resumes, it is describing the flood. A terrible storm raged for seven days and nights. "The huge boat had been tossed about on the great waters."`
I'm confused
This was written in 1600 BC
Genesis was 1450 BC
So this predates genesis
I am confused
So cant tell you much
Violence is justified when it's used against the rich
Supported by Jesus
Violence is justified by truth
truth is enough
violence is justified when used in self defense
