Anyone want to bet that this guy is a regular at the bus depot's men's room (Stall #3)?

deadcrickets: Did you know you have to pay a tax for being atheist in the middle east as well? So glad the American Family Association is implementing Sharia law!

sarcasm
But this is Christian Sharia law, which makes it ok. After all it's what the founding fathers and god intended.

He's not serious. He's just trollin'.

Fark this guy.

Seriously, fark him.

Fark him, his whore of a mother, and his molesting father.

Notice how before the court ruling on health care, the cons. were all "let's be nice "when" the libs. lose". They were all certain they were going to "win" (translated-the poor, and middle class lose...again). But wait: Now , they are all, "you cheated", and "you guys suck". It's like High School all over again, only I'm not the geek who gets his head stuck in the trash can. Kind of a cool feeling, however; I'm not stupid enough to get used to it.

Man, the whirlwind of Derper Head A Splosions is starting to really spin into high gear, isn't it?

I know we joke about the American Taliban, but this is literally an Islamic concept: Link

Jizya is a tax that non-Muslims in a Muslim state pay. There are a few rationales, but the main is that on a Muslim state, Muslims are already tithing which is essentially a tax since the religion is the state. Jizya is a non-muslim's contribution to the state for both charity and the protection the government provides.

It's telling that a centuries old Muslim concept of taxation is more coherent than a modern Evangelical one.

B-Fisch should be careful what he wishes for. If atheists had to attend the local megachurch they'd launch into Bible study classes with gusto, pointing out contradictions and inconsistencies, asking about changes in textual history, discussing the ways in which God acts like a monstrous, murderous, insane person throughout the book, etc. They'd be paying us to leave eventually.

Jamestown already tried this... It didn't work out too well.

Dimensio: Osomatic: I imagine most Christians, hearing this guy say this crap, feel the same way I do when I hear about some atheist guy trying to keep a local business from giving a church-bulletin discount.

The article did not state as much, so I am now curious; please identify the nationally known and politically influential organization of which Mr. John Wolff is a public spokesman.

The organization of Oh Cut It Out Already, that's what.

I already pay a tax for being an atheist -- I help subsidize everyone's tax deductions they receive from the donations they make to religious institutions.

Aarontology: Can I count watching football on Sundays to be attending mass if it's in praise of Breesus?

Only if you're watching the game Tebow is in.

I know what I want to say, but I don't feel like trying to explain what I said to a couple of federal officials who have better things to do.

I am unable to locate any information regarding such an organization. Have you a reference to a website, or to documentation of their tax exempt status? Obviously, such information must be available if your original analogy was valid.

gilgigamesh: Each one of these retarded "analogies" gets more short bus than the last. I thought they topped it with the "make every lib buy a gun for self defense or tax them" idea, but I was wrong. This is dumber.


There used to be a rebate for a small business to buy an SUV, so in effect everyone who didn't buy an SUV was taxed.

I am also being taxed for not having children.

Luckily I have a mortgage, so I don't have to pay the not-paying-mortgage-interest tax.

Furthermore, charitable giving is tax deductible, so as an athiest I am already getting the no-tithe tax.

thornhill: I already pay a tax for being an atheist -- I help subsidize everyone's tax deductions they receive from the donations they make to religious institutions.

Same here. In fact, I think we should make churches pay for their 'donations' because it's quite a scam they have going.

Diogenes: karnal: Why do people like this even get air time?

That's kind of where I was going. This guy is a spokesman. And as far as I can tell he's only preaching to the converted. What is his purpose other than to make extreme and outlandish statements? And if that's all he does, what does that accomplish?

The Evangelical base requires redder and redder meat to feed the outrage. He's not there to convert, or convince; he's there to keep the anger stoked.

Came in to say this. How long before his gay lover of 11 years comes out to talk about their meth-fueled man-love sessions.

For some reason people follow this guy....just like that nutjob Fred Phelps. I think all it accomplishes is it fires up their base....put them into the limelight. And then it gets into the news and here we are talking about them.

Oh, so you want to tax religion, or lack of it?

Time to pay up, assholes. You owe US Taxpayers about 236 years worth of back taxes, plus interest.

Keep religion the fark out of politics.

Damn! Who knew that Islamic Sharia law was infecting not just our secular government, but our Christian theocratic governments too? Is nobody safe from the terrorists anymore?

That's why I started the "First Holy Church of Not Giving a Flying Fark".

Meetings are in my basement.

May be confused with certain aspects of Rastafarian culture.

Sure you are - you got to give yourself a little more credit.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: Damn.. the retard is turned up to 22 today

/that SCOTUS decision really drove these shiatstains right over the edge, didn't it?

Good. Maybe they'll finally shut up about Roe Vs. Wade. Especially since the ACA was argued in front of a conservative court, whose majority was put on the bench my Reagan and two Bushes

We have cookies.

I actually (kind of) appreciate the point he's trying to make, my guess is he has no idea he's comparing apples to oranges.

Uninsured people that end up at - say - the ER because they can't be turned away costs all of us more in the end, so these costs are socialized anyway. I'm not aware of any way that atheism imposes a societal cost, aside from atheists generally being unbearably smug and over-estimating their own intelligence.

I'm up for a 'spiritual release' mandate if we can remove the ability to tax religious institutions. I feel the government sending me to some relaxing Buddhist sessions would probably help lower my stress levels.

Somebody should flood his email inbox with the studies that prove prayer doesn't change the outcome of hospital patients' illnesses. I just don't have the time.

Lost Thought 00: Churches need to have skin in the game, if you know what I mean

As opposed to skin in the alter boy?

how about no, but what we can do is to start taxing religious organizations just as any other organizations are taxed.

Where'd they say this, Iran?

/Checks article


Yep, pretty much might as well be Iran. The Christian Taliban is out in full force today. I wish their HQ in Colorado would have torched instead of some family homes. That would have been justice.

Except these douchebags actually have members in Congress. Who listen to their recommendations.


I don't see any member of Congress listening to his "tax the atheist" nonsense, do you?

At the rate they are going they will have to start tearing flesh off of a living creature they are in the process of both coverting to Christianity and raping anally at the same time.

Marquis DeSade would be proud!

It could worth it for the lulz to see if this idea gets made into a law in Oklahoma and see if Scalia can figure out a way not to strike it down.

It could be.
