Our currency (manufactured by the state) contains a religious belief added because of cold war fears. The cold war is over. Under god was also added due to the cold war. Those actions were not necessary for the 178 years prior. Keeping it is special privilege for the religious. But OMG, talk about removing those words and you go off.Oh, you misunderstand, I can care less about the removal of that phrase from currency.
Fire departments are primarily funded through local property taxes. Churches don't pay property taxes. Why should the church get a service that they don't help pay for? Again this should be viewed as special privilege.
Your religious false entitlement is showing. It's almost childish.
Edit, late addition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_privilege
The church is not the building, the church is the body of believers. The building is just a building where the church comes together to worship God. The individuals that all go to the building to worship God pay taxes. Most of us are business owners who have jobs and own homes. We pay our taxes and the property tax on our homes as well. But because an individual does not pay taxes or property tax does not mean they should be deprived of basic life-saving services. If I am being attacked should the cops not come to help me because I don't pay taxes that fund them?
Do you think that if a church is on fire that the fire department should not come and put the fire out?
Apparently you can't 'care less' or you wouldn't bring up currency and the pledge.
No, I'm saying that is the church wants state funded services they need to support that service the same as other entities.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
