Well now, I have some time to kill so...let's discuss a bumper sticker I saw when I was driving this morning. The bumper sticker said (something like this): Religious groups should stay out of politics or be taxed.
Can we dwell on how completely illogical this statement is for just one little second?
First of all, I am a Christian and I belong to a religious group and I already PAY TAXES! Yes, that's right, all the money given to churches has already BEEN TAXED! Thank you VERY MUCH. So now you want to take my Tithe and make me pay taxes on that too? Guess what? I already paid taxes on it! DUH!
Secondly, every single person who is involved in politics has religious beliefs of some sort (whether they believe in God, a god, or no god at all) and those beliefs effect all of their views, including their political ones, and every time they take a political stand they are pro-actively promoting THEIR beliefs. Ok, I just have to say it again: DUH!!!!!!!!!!!
If religious groups should stay out of politics then NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE can be involved in politics at all.
The end. And if anyone thinks of any other good reasons why that bumper sticker is the most illogical (and stupid) bumper sticker on the planet, please feel free to add it to the comment section below. Thank you and have a nice day!
