Come on there's no need for name calling. Germany has stupid religious people in high political places, unfortunately many do. But still continuing on German Catholic problem in Germany government collects taxes for churches and if you want to leave Catholic Church you have to go trough a government bureaucracy and you have to pay 31 Euros to leave the fucking, no good, very criminal Catholic Church! Here's how the bill looks like:

Here's the table on the government building telling you where the department for leaving Catholic Church is

This is where you draw you waiting number - just for church exits, mind you

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Might be cheaper then to be a burr in their side and get tossed.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'd kiss either of 'em for much less than $31.
Hell, I might even pay . . . .

They would just think that you're a Catholic that stumbled on her morals but they would not refuse to take 10% off your paycheck. And here's some more information I learned about German Church Tax:
All Germans who are officially registered as Catholics, Protestants or Jews pay a religious tax on their annual income tax bill.
Those who do not want to pay the religious tax can leave the church by making an official declaration that he or she is leaving the faith.
More than 181,000 German Catholics left the Church in 2010 and a further 126,000 the following year, reducing the total number to 24.47 million in a total population of 82 million.
Income from church taxes in Germany amounted to about $6.3 billion (€4.8 billion) for the Vatican in 2011, and $5.5 billion (€4.2 billion) for the Protestant, mostly Lutheran, churches in 2010.
Some people are leaving Catholic Church only do it "officially" but still go to the church which off course angers those over-payed, gay hating, child molesting transvestites known as Catholic bishops so that they refuse those people for example, to participate in confessions, confirmation, work in the church / house of worship and its schools or hospitals, become a godparent, or take part in parish activities.

It's always about the money with those sanctimonious pricks.

Quote:Two recent books claimed officials get huge payments for investigating candidates for sainthood, with little control over how they spend the money.
The new rules mean external oversight of the bank accounts concerned.
The whole concept of "sainthood" is laughably medieval!

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

She doesn't like this thread. Thinks I'm picking on catholicks.
(And, of course, she is totally correct!)
