Church forcing State involvement?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

In a sense, by not paying taxes, churches are indeed paying their 'fair share' - they are paying what the law requires.  Atheists may not like it (I certainly don't), but they aren't doing anything illegal or unfair: they are paying what the law requires.  That it happens to be nothing (in most cases) doesn't make it unfair.

Would you extend that restriction to people who don't make enough money to pay taxes in the first place?  If you get a tax refund, should that curtail your legal rights?

How old are you?

A tax refund isn' t a gift. It' s you getting back what you overpaid in taxes.

So did you not know that or was that simply the worst comparrison you' ve ever made?

I'm 49.

Who said it was a gift?

I've made worse comparrisons [sic].

But you miss the point entirely.  Should access to justice be determined by how much or how little one pays in taxes?  You seemed to think it was a good idea when applied to churches, how about to people?  If we lived in the same country and I paid more tax than you, should I get better access to the court system?
