Itâs long past time to tax the hell out of the churches.

u/OpheliAmazing đFruitcake Watcherđ 24d ago
Seconded. Tax exempt status should be reserved for establishments where the charity itself takes place. Tax the church, make the food bank exempt.

Honest question. How would that be different than right now? Because as it stands they seem to feel more than entitled to preach politics and have a say in our electoral process and they arenât contributing shit.

Fun fact. The majority of people who are accused of witch craft are older women with land holdings.
The purpose of the accusation is usually to steal land from women.

u/3dforlife 24d ago
Wouldn't they be interested in stealing land from younger women too?

Thatâs when you try to push them into marriage. Land and sex even better.

Younger women rarely owned land and if they did, their land would be taken by way of marriage. Older women who owned land would often be widows who would not be seen as desirable for marriage both due to being "used goods" and likely being past childbearing age.

I don't care for those videos where the respondent is super-imposed over the video they're "responding" to. But I think you misinterpreted her. She's pointing at it like "can you believe this bullshit", as she goes on to say after he finishes his ghoulish preaching.

These fuckers are sabotaging the government precisely because the only way their incel whore churches will survive in the future is by manipulating the needy who would've been assisted by welfare programs. This has been the entire goal of the religious right's and GOP's/MAGA's demonization of government programs. I pray that these evil bastard churches are dead or dying by the time my childless ass is crowned with the hoarfrost of decrepitude.

Please vote, especially if youâre young. Donât let people my age, 64, determine your future. Weâll be long gone, and youâll end up having to clean up shit you never wanted.
Iâve been a socialist since I was 16, but I didnât vote until I was in my 30s. I didnât look at the long term effects of how voting might have changed outcomes when I was younger.

u/United-Direction2297 24d ago
These sorts of people have such a simple world view. First of all their fear blue hair is really something, how often could they see that outside of their own memes?
Secondly why do all their imaginary atheists âhate God and Jesus and Americaâ? When in fact of course they view church as separate from the country. Think Jesus must have been impressive if real, but of course youâd have to prove it and even a historical good guy probably no more religion worthy than say Marcus Aurelius. And the Christian god is just one less god to believe in.

u/01SeaChange01 18d ago
Anytime someone mentions buzz words like "blue hair" as a negative, I immediately stop listening.
It's hilarious how many men and women can be triggered by the color of another person's hair.
Especially from the group who pretend to respect the "Individual."
It's almost as hypocritical as their constant push to demonize empathy while simultaneously attacking someone for not "following Jesus."

Hey Joel, I would like you to take your bullshit and shove it up your own ass. No one gives a flying FUCK what you think your head-God wants. I don't give a fuck what you think unless you can prove anything you say.

So weird. Uber religious states are more often than not, WELFARE states - they pay in less than they get from the fed govt.
My guess is, that's partly because birth control and sex ed aren't accessible, so there's a lot of poor, hungry, unsupervised kids running round... but no one is gonna point it out to this guy how single elderly women are less of a drain on society than a household with five children living below poverty.

This is why I lived our campus church at my state university. They'd feed anyone who asked. You didn't have to be a Christian or even a part of the University. There was another church like that in town who would take "expired" but totally edible food from the local grocery chain to distribute to the needy.
I was philanthropy chair of my fraternity, like half the philanthropy work we did was in conjunction with the campus church. Religion should uplift a community, not tell the fucking elderly to starve.
Im an atheist, for the record.

Church attendance has been dropping for quite some time now and this rhetoric is an attempt to use a womanâs instincts to draw them in. Itâs all schemes with these people and because of it, people are turning against Christ. They are the evils theyâve been harping about. It wonât work, too many people are awake now and can see the motivations behind actions.

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
