Should Churches Remain Tax-Exempt?

[Esquilax]

do you think God would give anyone enough power to stop Christianity.

To hear your fellow christians tell it, god and your faith are constantly threatened by a great many things. Science, gay people existing, a correct implementation of the separation of church and state, anti-discrimination laws, evolution... all sorts of innocuous things are apparently sufficient to drive god away from whatever country they're practiced in, and destroy the very fabric of the christian religion in those countries. The picture one gets, if one listens to any given conservative christian with a platform, is of a faith with the resilience of tissue paper, fit to blow away entirely the moment its members are not completely accommodated on every issue, immediately. And that's not even mentioning iron chariots!

Besides, a quick look through history shows dead religions, faded religions, infant religions snuffed out before they gained any traction... humanity's past is a veritable graveyard of religions, of which only a few survive today. The odds are simply not in christianity's favor; don't pretend you've got something special there that they didn't have, though no doubt you're already lining up to baselessly assert that you have god on your side.

Funny thing: they all thought they did too, right up until the moment they didn't.
