Reparations for slavery

[sally]

Why don't we just tax the Christians since they were the ones who primarily murdered the Indians and tortured slaves. It wouldn't kill the church and their congregations to pay a small tax to benefit the native americans and blacks. There is a church on every corner so it would really add up.

This is incorrect and naive but in your own backward way you make a valid point. Churches have enjoyed tax free status for way too long and their value to the community has diminished. I would love to see them taxed as for-profit entities, since that is what most of them are. Especially con outfits like that Joel Osteen and his ilk.

First of all I said that jokingly and as a comparison to holding corporations responsible for reparations for slavery. But what part is incorrect? That Christians were mainly responsible for the cruel treatment of both native Americans and African Americans? From what I've read that is entirely correct.
