Agnosticism Presupposes That God Does Not Exist
"ag·nos·tic[ag-nos-tik]
Religious institutions should be taxed like everyone else.
Religious institutions essentially evade 71 Billion dollars in tax revenue each year. The congregations of Christian religions tithe so why not pay some of that to the state and federal like everyone else. A church should not be considered special in comparison with other citizens of the United States....

The Sporting New quotes that "It might not seem fair, but Johnny Bench is the standard by which catchers will be judged forever." This debate was created by me...
