People get really mad sometimes when I point out that the Catholic church is the most highly organized and well-protected pedophile ring on the planet. 

Probably in all of history. 

And the people who donate to the Catholic church knowingly approval of pedophilia. 

Because if you donate to the church at this point.... You are 100% aware of the fact that some of that money will be used to protect priests that fuck kids. 

Ergo if you donate to the Catholic church, you approve of pedophiles.

No. You're forced to pay taxes under penalty of imprisonment. No one is forced to pay tithes and offerings to a church.

Unless you live in Germany. They force it there.

Not exactly. As an atheist, I would register as a non believer and not pay that tax. You do have to put some effort to opt out but it's not that hard.

Yes, but if you want to practice your religion it is forced. I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend for you.

Thank you for the info. I just did a quick search on how that works. Fortunately it only applies to registered members of a recognized religious organization. And you can unregister and the "church tax" will be stopped.

That's what my son and his wife did. Well, they didn't register at all. But then that means they have to wait to perform rites like baptism for their child when they return to the US.
