[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, OP.

I don't have any issue with personal faith.

But religion? Organized religions? Absolute corruption, completely embedded with man's selfishness and agenda. [/quote]

That's a very narrow, ignorant view of what goes on. Who do you think feeds people in need? It's not the government. [/quote]

It certainly is. And the government is people. People feed people. [/quote]

We don’t need religion to support people.

DMARC receives 40,000-pound donation from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

DES MOINES, Iowa —
“The Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) received 40,000 pounds of food from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Wednesday morning.

The donation is part of the church's America 250 Celebration. The semi dropping off food in Iowa is one of 250 being delivered to food banks in all 50 states, according to DMARC. The food was donated by farmers and other members of the church's congregation nationwide.

"The need continues to rise in Greater Des Moines as we're seeing higher fuel prices, as we're seeing higher food costs, families' budgets are getting stretched thinner and thinner," said DMARC CEO Kathy Underhill.

DMARC said nearly 29,000 Iowans visited its locations last month to access food, marking the highest monthly total since 2025, with the exception of October and November, when the federal government shutdown affected food assistance programs.“

You are lying to yourself.

I am not a Mormon, but it’s straight up false that religious and institutions aren’t a significant support for society, and is unmatched.

The government doesn’t support and help people; taxpayers do. The government just makes programs to hand out taxpayer money while taking credit for it.

The Mormons have enough taxpayer sheltered money to feed everyone in America for the next decade, and they hoard it. They don’t even help their own in need. Tax them. [/quote]

Mormons also have a religious obligation to hoard food. Their "donations" are just their routinely rotating their supply, which is also in their doctrine. Good Mormons are supposed to keep either a 1 or 2 year supply of food in reserve in anticipation of hardship like earthly catastrophes or economic collapse or another religious persecution.

Taxing churches should be a no-brainer. The "faithful" have enormous amounts of wealth, which they give away to their churches for the benefit of the church and pastors. Then the "faithful" apply for federal benefits to replace this wealth when they can't pay their mortgage or fix their vehicles with "god vouchers"

I have a ton of Jesus cousins who have squandered all their resources on guns and ammunition and giving to their churches so that they don't disgrace their pastors by making them "travel on the ground" when they should be high in the sky on wings with their God.

My one cousin can't pay the mortgage on his 1 story ranch home at 65.

I do. not. care.[/quote]
