Government urges councils to stop giving tax breaks to Scientology http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oc ... cientologyWell that should solve the problem. Take the difference out of the pockets of councillors.  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Either that or remove all tax-breaks from all non-charitable organisations. I don't see why any religion should get a tax break. Edited to add: Either they should all get one, or none should; discrimination is always bad. Tax breaks should only be given to charitable organisations that act demonstrably in the public interest. Churches, temples or any other religious meeting place of any type shouldn't count unless that specific church/temple/etc. acts as a non-discriminatory public-interest body. Simples. _________________Jim

In my opinion, religion is a sham, and Scientology is a sham religion. I couldn't agree more.

Ok, Jedi is fine. We should only help out worthwile causes. Not a penny to those Sith scum, tax 'em to death I say!

Yes but he is the Emperor Palpatine in this situation. Also the Sith way is to kill your way to the top. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
