Churches Do Not Deserve Exemption Status.

It is claimed for the church that it ought to be exempt from taxation because of the valuable social service which it renders to human suffering. It is well just to keep in mind two facts: first, that very few churches are actually engaged in ministering to the poor (other agencies render such services much more efficiently), and, second, that the churches so engaged never do so from the highest motives; they are always thinking of winning supporters and members. 

The church contributes services to the state as a police power more valuable than the mere pittance it might pay on its tax exempt property, the friends of religion claim. But does it? I ask this question in all sincerity. It may be there was a time when people could be frightened into being good by the fear of hell 

It may be that Voltaire was right in his day when he said that he didn’t believe in hell, but he wanted his servants to believe in It. But that time is gone, for hell has been abolished and the church has lost its power (if it ever possessed it) to keep “bad people” in order. It is illuminating in this connection to read the statistics with respect to the religion of criminals confined in our penitentiaries.

To tax church property would put many churches out of existence. The defenders of the exemption of church property say, If an organization cannot pay its way, if it hasn’t members and friends who believe in it sufficiently to support it, why should those of us who do not believe in it at all, who believe, in fact, that it is a vicious, superstitious institution, be compelled to support it? 

We all agree that there may be some excuse for exempting schools, orphanages, and hospitals from taxation, for they are performing functions the state would be obliged to perform. But religion is another matter — a very personal and private matter which is no affair of the state. 

Church and State might seem separated, but in reality, they are one. The only group that benefits from this declaration is the Church and only the Church, as they have a green light from the Congress and the Supreme Court to do anything they damn please, and not be accountable to any authority but their imaginary god. 

When the table turns and they need to stick their fingers where they don’t belong, they are all in favor of bringing the “Separation Wall” down, so they can participate in State matters; stealing jobs, getting their crooks elected, passing laws for more protection for their illegal entities, money laundering, and spending millions in supporting their criminal candidates to have their own puppets inside the White House or the sellout Congress. 

The First and fourteenth Amendments to United States Constitution clearly states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”, which means no preference, prohibition in establishment, and/or aid should be given to any religious organization. 

So why do I say Churches are organized crime sects with tax exemption? Well imagine a single person committing the following crimes in his life time who also happened to be exempt from paying taxes: 

Raping young boys, marrying girls at age 12 against their will, slaughtering several civilizations because they worshiped the wrong god, ordering assassinations on other nations’ leaders, running extermination camps, causing the bloodiest and longest wars, destroying others’ homes, executing children in cold blood, beheadings, burning at stake… do I need to count more?

If there was such a person, his tax exemption status would be the last thing on your mind. He would most certainly be hunted, prosecuted, and hanged upside down from the Statue of Liberty. And people would travel from every corner of the country to line up in thousands to spit on his rotten hanging body. But somehow people close their eyes when Churches get to do all the above, regularly, openly, and unapologetically. Their actions are justified as a sick and twisted accepted normality.

The phrase American Christian is an oxymoron. There is no such a thing as an American Christian. A Christian is one who is pure in heart and mind, thought, word and deed and follows in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, adhering to the teachings of Jesus. A Christian’s allegiance is to God first and then to his country, provided his country abides by the laws of God. If his country does not abide by God’s Law, he should leave that country peacefully. 

But a deluded, dogma-infested believer in a Church pretending to be God’s authority on earth that is void of truth and purity will say, “to hell with the country” and practices vengeance, because he is not one bit shy to go to war against it. If a day comes that the United States bans Christianity, you can be sure that there will be armies of deluded self-proclaimed Christians armed to the teeth, raping, burning, and murdering every Non-Christian in sight. They’ve done it before and they’ll do it again.

Pastors versus 501C

The hardline Pastors of America face an uphill battle, with the latest so called attack on the pulpit visible in the state of Texas it is only fair to say that very soon more politicians with the urge to create a window between church and state will soon begin the march on a precious commodity of churches.
The 501 c will be the focus over the coming years in creating a way to silence various church groups from having a political voice in which this writer is actually ok with.

I believe as do many religious gurus that freedom of speech is a good thing as is seperation of church and state, with that said we turn to the example setter of christianity for the answer to the intellectuals reader who seeks to know the truth versus opinions.

Jesus the leader or organiser of the new faith 2000 years ago made these bold statements introducing the correct way a christian should react between Politics and religion.“They are in the world.” But he also said: “They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.” ( John 17:11-14) His words clearly show how true Christians should view this world. Satan is the god of “this system of things,” or world. (2 Corinthians 4;4 ) Christians live in the world, but they are no part of it. That is why the Bible says that Christians are like “aliens,” or foreigners. They are “temporary residents” in this world.—1 Peter 2;11.

Scripture to back up the seperation always goes unchecked since most who claim to support christianity do so with a fever pitch of wanting to belong to a political system destined to fail or destined to crush the very excistence of faith based people in America. Pastors should mimic Jesus not try and add to an already dismal approach to advancing a cause based on a entity of politics which is designed only to achieve what is needed withing a set group of people.

So the golden question of the day would be this. Do we need to try and take on a political system that in one swoop could promote legislation to tap into the non profit clause of religions in America and with that reversal, go after billions of dollars in each state culminating in a new way to tackle federal and state issues accross the country. Large Question to answer is it not?

One state alone, let us take Wisconsin as a sample...this state has over 10 billion dollars wrapped up in 501 c protection based on property values and the lands these churches possess. Times that by 50 states then add in the larger bible belt states we can see almost if not equal to around a trillion a year in untaxed revenue. WOW, there it is the solving question to so many issues, yet a reversal effect could and would take place, it is called the dedicated voter who belongs to these churches, they themselves hold the power to reelect a politician based on so many variables.

I advocate the revenue from a religion that will use politics as a gain to achieve more exposure, example would be Saddleback church for its involvement with the Obama-Mccain election.So if Jesus could refrain from the politics of his day, why cant christians who claim to follow his teachings do the same?

The Fall of Islam.

The Fall of a religion comes quickly and not noticed by the pundits or the experts that live off the idea that religion holds the answer to either success or to failure of a culture. Muslims number a great deal due to one major factor, they are born into the religion therefore setting a false pretense that all who seem Islamic, really are nothing more then a number.

The fall is due to declining people from all over the world that actually practice their respective faiths, Muslims who practice this faith is far less then the number claimed to represent the Islamic regions of the world. So whats next? The fall of a religion is not something new, its the rebirth of a replacement that creates a turn of events we are witnessing today.

Radical Islam grows out of the silence of the peaceful version of slam, yes the peaceful quiet Muslims have creased a lose-lose scenario for all of them The silent majority has loss faith in themselves and has lost face value with those who keep repeating the cry. " This is not the real Islam were peaceful" I personally have seen the lack of respect for their belief due to such silence, they carry no weight in the media or carry any retaliation to the never ending story of peace is all we know not terror.

Islam will cave in on itself and the radical ideas will soon be real, not a Muslim opposition will be around to stop it. The news has silenced the peaceful side due to all we see is the rage viewed around the world. I say to their over 1 billion peaceful Muslims to step up to the podium and begin a large campaign of destroying the radicals from within.

Why 2034? Ha, its just a date to help you read the blog.
Muslims everywhere deserve to defend the faith not remain silent.

Flooding the internet to expose false teachings

I categorically admit to flooding the world wide web with exposure to false religious teachings, from Islam to Mormonism we see a developing trend towards believing the unknown that when exposed becomes a victim of people like myself. What did I just say? I am basically fueling the fires if you will on telling everyone that opinions do matter and if we base everything solely on one opinion we fail the remaining opinions thus creating a world of isolationism,

To look up into the heavens and try and point out all the vast stars or constellations is a task of many months and many long nights. Exposing the falsehoods of people is easier to do when they surround themselves with books other then the book they profess to teach from. Opinions based on Jesus Christ seem mute in society today, we really o lack a sense of urgency when defining who Jesus was.

I know what kind of man he is and was, he lived a good life and worked a skilled trade before embarking on a three and a half year mission to promote a new teaching about Gods standards.
Jesus closely picked men of limited quality's because they were about to receive a quality never ever placed before so many men at one time.

Place yourself in his shoes for a moment, he taught free of charge and gave freely in areas of healing and resurrecting the dead, he even emphasized the giving free at Matthew 10;8 to his newly taught followers and ensured them that this is the only way to maintain salvation. False teachers today go in the direction of the wind in order to receive a breeze of wealth at the expense of those who like the Jews of old believed the leadership then and were also exposed by guess who? Jesus Christ himself..

The flood of exposure is worthy and needed in order to let people know Jesus never taught to make himself rich nor would his followers do the same. So who do these false teachers of so many religions work for? let the photo tell the truth..

A DISASSOCIATION POLICY RESULTING IN SUICIDAL DEATHS.

I placed this article on my blog as a reminder of the facade placed on this organisation when it comes to the word Love, we know Jesus said to love your neighbor as you would yourself, here is a clear violation of that commandment from the leader of Christianity. The idea that a person who doesn't involve themselves in a faith or leaves a faith is to be eliminated from all thought is defined as hatred and leaves myself speechless at the walk to the door they perform with a smile and a tract about love or a topic on  what is the key to happy family life? Seriously that's a tract? The hypocrisy is seen clearly on the website jw.org.

I know this first hand spending so much time in study with them, also door to door spreading a few scriptures about the kingdom to come. I urge you to stop hiding behind your doors when they call on you, become educated on your bible beliefs, and use key scriptures to help you put the ball in your court and not allow them to control a topic based on the weeks schedule they go by.

Ask them where dis-fellowship is mentioned in the bible? Ask them who decides the time frame to not speak to a once member of this organisation? Ask them what scriptural reference decides the use of a governing body of men to decide the role of Christianity?. Ask them how they change from once not allowing transplants, to all of a sudden allowing transplants? the body of men number 7 or 8 why not 12 as it was with the disciples? Ask them why they do not forgive according to Jesus own words to Peter. Matthew 18;21,22.

The scriptures in the same chapter prior to this question from Peter discuss the outcome of someone who continues to do things they shouldn't do, Clearly Jesus made it clear in a common sense approach and not in a fatal literal sense of the event because he himself had a tax collector write the very book were quoting from.

So please read this article with an open mind and understand that man made religions do cause stress and even death among its former members.....

If a member converts to a new religion or belief, which does not conform to the Watchtower’s teachings, these non-believers are treated as unfit to freely associate with, share meals with and greet politely in public, and can be written out of estate inheritances to leverage them into re-joining the religion.

What makes these practices and the underlying policy so unethical is that parents are obligated to act this way to children, children to parents, and siblings to siblings. If they don’t comply, they too will be "cut off from association" because they are "wicked" and "evil" if they convert.

This clearly violates a person's right to commune with their family under Article 12, under the Declaration of Human Rights, and punishes a person if they change their religious beliefs under their right to conversion under Article 18, severely hindering free association with their own family members, under the guise of religious power.

Well-trained and experienced mental health experts report that forced isolation from close family members is “psychological torture.”(1)  The extreme pain for some people who are not emotionally equipped to deal with this form of persecution - in the way it isolates a person away from the support of family members -- has resulted in countless documented cases of suicide.

This policy has to be investigated by independent psychological experts in the best interests of public safety, since this "shunning" policy has resulted in many deaths.  “Psychological torture is directed at the psyche with calculated violations of psychological needs,” (denying one’s enjoyment to commune in the family bond) “….along with deep damage to psychological structures and the breakage of beliefs underpinning normal sanity. Torturers often inflict both types of torture in combination to compound the associated effects.”(2)   See Also: ("Beware of Human Apostates" Speech by Jehovah's Witnesses, 2013)

Suddenly removing one's right to commune with their family is a form of "psychological torture".  Under Article 5 of the Declaration of Human Rights, it provides that no one has any right to hurt or to torture another human being.

The Watchtower Corporation's dissasociation policy is coercive in that the ostracized members forcibly need to re-convert back to the religion in order to regain their right to associate with their family members, who are left inside the religion.   Under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, whereby it states:

 As Defined By The UN Convention on Religious Intolerance:

The Special Rapporteur, H. Bielefeldt, of the OCHR, General Assembly, 67th session stated: “Abuses in this area can be undertaken both by Government agencies and by non-State actors”.
The Watchtower Corporation hatefully scorns and persecutes a convert and suppresses their entitlement to freely associate with family, in retaliation for exercising a personal “freedom of belief, or non-belief”.   This is defined by the UN Convention on Religious Intolerance as an act that “violates freedom of religion in the area of conversion”.

 That action to remove the right to associate with family is a display of religious intolerance that violates human rights and civil rights.  The Court must consider whether a religion has unlimited power to abuse Religious Freedom, if the practices are found to be harmful or unethical, by applying the “balance” test for discrimination.

In closing do we need laws protecting us from decision made by a body of men? The constant reversals of decisions this group makes gives us a look at a God been imbalanced, I think as many do that imbalance is not God, it is the actual motivation of a religion that basically has created a charismatic following not a following of a Loving God.

The Money Train called death.

The idea of dying is at times nerve racking and even a little troublesome to most. I myself have no issue, death is embraced as a way to wait for the next outcome to take place.  For the living know that they will die but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.  Powerful scripture is it not? The idea that dying involves some incredible restoration or rescue to another plain is somewhat alarming to me.

I listened to the skeptics about the soul been transferred to another realm and really found it a little disturbing when scripture usage never played a role in their debate. I do believe people do die and do take the journey to another realm, its practical to use scripture in making that decision and to analyse the entire bible on a subject that is so overwhelmed with ideas and motivation to make people do certain acts for the possibility of living among the heavens.

So the work performed by those who believe they will visit a spiritual realm for their deeds or their works I say this from the book that helps you overcome certain obstacles of delusion.Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Psalms another great book of song and poetry helps people smooth over the final outcome caused by death. The realm of the dead very specific wording and a very specific location is addressed here.

"Ah its okay to believe in another place" people say this with little reasoning to justify the outcome, I say learn the outcome before putting yourself in a position that is filled with agendas and nothing more.
Agendas you say? The agenda of life after death dates back to a time where the after world was popular for all those in high positions of leadership, it was reserved for them by various beliefs conjured up in ancient manuscripts excavated by archaeologists of today. So when we die we actually no longer hare any part to play under the sun as told by the new international version bible that is one of the most used bibles today,

So whats the big fuss?  Is the money gathering religions creating a good soul and a bad soul for all of us to label and to agree with them on the outcome of everyone currently living on Earth?
Serious question to pose upon readers, especially when the intellectual ones make claim of a life after death for everyone who ceases to exist. Why should we take death to heart or reflect on it deeply?
Lets reason on that very question from the bible itself. I know for many including myself we find it hard to accept death,it has a end effect that as humans seems unconscionable at right or wrong it is a human impulse to want to live longer.

God is the one who put thinking of eternity as a way of life in all our minds an hearts, he installed this due to the original purpose we all were once suppose to enjoy.  He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Instilled in all of us is the desire to live, not to die we see this in the way we try to live another year or more based on experimental drugs, a bypass, another organ transplant  a variety of anxiety plays into the fear of death. Ecclesiastes 3;11 of the new international version spills the beans on why we want to live and not to reach the outcome that faces all of us.

So its only fair to examine the question of the millennium, should we  believe that there is life after death? We die based on the bibles account of two humans, the first pair to exist according to scripture, how long ago this was is not certain yet it tells of a event that shaped the very existence of man forever. The bible speaks of death as a state of returning to the ground, it clearly implies that the result is permanent and overall nothing to fear or nothing to get excited about.

Here is the passage to help all of us understand the word sinner is not limited to a behavior trait in people but is a condition we all genetically carry. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned. Romans 5;12 from the new international version clearly tells all of us what happens with the word sin.

It is not some terrible word to throw at certain people because all of us inherit sin not just a set few.
A vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God  The word sin carries many meanings yet this one here vitiated gives us the justification we need from the actions of the first man and woman portrayed in the bible. vitiate means to make faulty or impair progress so to speak. So we went from perfect to faulty and have carried faults ever since.

The concept that we all go to heaven or hell is not even practical to teach, the very act of death is seen clearly as a position where we will never harm or help others ever again. Agnostics and even atheists firmly believe the concept of death as permanent and nothing else to look forward to. The statement is true to its meaning, we die and that is it, dust we return to as described by scripture.

God himself addressed Adam with his demise, he informed him what would take place for him after simply disobeying one requirement, that's right one requirement. He said...By the sweat of your brow
 you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are   and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3;19 NIV bible. Adam ceased to exist, he functioned no more as a person, his traits and attributes became history, no further involvement would take place for his soul.

So why the hype over where we go and what payment will help us get there? Yes religion has placed a payment scale on your death, they have created a death merit system so to speak through those who instruct and teach all of us who follow organised religion. Hard ball knows this to be extortion, it is a form of fear extortion to make a few wealthy and a few poor. I will explain this falsehood in my next article to help people make their own decisions based on scripture, not opinions.
