Atheists; what do you base your morals on?
RE: Atheists; what do you base your morals on?
(March 14, 2013 at 11:28 pm)genkaus Wrote: "According to Black's Law Dictionary, a tax is a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government [...] a payment exacted by legislative authority." It "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government [...] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name.""

Why do you use words like "delusion" in this context? Obviously what I am writing is not a delusion. The public school system did not fall out of the sky. It is not delusional to suppose that the state should not necessarily force people to attend its schools. This sort of terminology in political discourse is suggestive of some sort of re-education program.

Do you think that reasonable people can disagree as to the way that their taxes are taken from them? The tax system is very complex.

You seem to want to live in a totalitarian world.

And I will say it again, Strudel. You can bitch about this when your church starts paying taxes. Until then, shut the fuck up.

What is your argument for that position? That is not self evident to me.
