Yes we is.

Wait until you can buy a can from Walmart and then come whine about it for me.

"We" was here the last four years, sport.

That didn't change in November.

And giving a tax exemption in no way does that. It’s a very simple fact. At least from a legal standpoint. I get your emotional about it, but the law is the law.

The "we are back" line was about America, nerd.

I love you too. Glad you finally got over your anxiety about showing your face around here. You're good for low hanging fruit fact checking and we need it.

When I come back from a ban, tards like you pretending I was just too afraid of the Internet to post is always my favorite part.

You're the one calling names because you know your position is absurd. A shamefully hackish performance.

Nah, my money is already taxed. I give it to my church of my free will without taxation. They already pay taxes on any for profit enterprises.

What about money that you give to WalMart? Is that not already taxed?

It’s never been that black and white, and it shouldn’t be.

When it is, you then demand that the default is zero conflation with anything spiritual. Where is the line, then?

A church? Clearly a “faith first” organization.

What about an unaffiliated charity that clearly states their mission is an adherence to the Great Commission?

What if they simply say that they want to be a “fishes and loaves” thing, ie, feed people as Jesus did?

What if it’s as simple as the founder and primary benefactor says he/she felt led by God?

What if it’s not Christian (or even Abrahamaic)? If a Shinto monk simply believes in the kindness of human nature and professes that in their mission?

My point: Treating this as a legalistic sword match ends only in restrictions so suffocating that they eliminate the vast majority of causes. Far better to have reasoned compromise that looks at outcomes rather than regulations.

Maybe you should take a month off from posting and think about it. You're wrong (as usual) and your confidence in your ignorance is still causing you problems.

Sorry my throwaway joke both hurt you and made your brain break. It wasn't intentional.
