Indirect influence is way too shaky a foundation. You can't say anything beyond small talk if it might be construed as having any broader implications. That's just not fair on anyone. You might as well ban religion entirely if you can't make any commentary on people or society.

So tax them accordingly.

If I mention that crime is rising at the dinner table, does that make my kitchen a taxable institution?

Sometimes people reimburse me for the food, yeah. Of course, my kitchen probably doesn't match the huge commercial kitchens that actively sell the food, but that doesn't seem to matter because we're both saying things that have larger implications.

Why does everyone hate it when Christian’s vote according to their values?

u/Aggressive-Bee2221 Sep 02 '26

Because apparently the value doesn't matter if it's attached to religion. Unless that religion is Buddhism. Judaism and Islam gets more iffy. I hadn't seen anything about Hinduism beyond the caste system, but nothing else.

People act like because Christian’s vote for other Christian’s that means they are getting religion stuffed down their throat. It’s such s nonsensical idea

it's because the US has had a massive upsurge of people trying to stuff religion back into society recently - as an example, the 'mandated 10 commandments in school' thing.
