Over it. Churches need to be paying tax. This is an outdated regulation based on services. But so many of them have discovered the loopholes that contribute to their wealth that the whole is rarely distributed to where it is needed. Whistle-blowers suffer

Should parliamentary sessions still begin with Lord's Prayer?:

If you're able, please donate to @ReproRights to help defend abortion access in the United States. Overturning Roe v Wade would represent a drastic reversal of decades of precedent that would isolate the United States from most of the developed world on reproductive rights.

If I stood on a street with a sound system and shouted at length about how much I love, say, hamburgers - someone would come along and tell me to shut up or move me on
What it is about this guy shouting irritatingly loudly about religion that means we turn a blind 👁?

I did a little reading on the history of Christianity. Just the basics of the rise & takeover of this religion throughout the world
In most instances I found it 2 b a violent & unforgiving history, full of bigotry, hatred, murder, greed & zero tolerance
What a surprise

She is of course right if we accept that God invented ebola, cancer, earthquakes, tsunamis and Clive Palmer.
