Don't bet on it. Churches do a lot to help people in need with food,
to keep the lights on or even a bed in a homeless shelter. They do it
with mostly or all volunteers, and at a lot lower cost than any
government agency. Any land owned by churches is a small fraction of a
percent in any city. Deadbeat landowners owe a lot more in taxes than
all the value of the land & property taxes on churches would ever add up
to. The annual notice for delinquent property taxes around here was
over 75 pages of the smallest font the local newspaper has. It was over
half of the newspaper that day.

Use your head to analyze the facts, instead of making an ass of
yourself.

You make excellent points but the appeal to using one's head is likely
to fall on deaf ears because it isn't about logic, facts, law,
justice, freedom, or anything of the sort. Atheists despise religion,
just as socialists despise free enterprise, and are out to destroy it
by any means, regardless of the means. And that, as they say, is that.



It's really sad what cheap booze does to people.


Ya think?

Well, the way government works these days we can subsidize 'quality
booze' and then run a "cash for rotgut" program.



That's how they get the rotgut in the first place.

Well, that would certainly explain a lot.

And a perfect companion to my having watched "Weird Warfare" on the
History Channel earlier as some of those 'inventors' must surely have
been drinking, smoking, snorting or injecting something.



In some cases: 'A mind is a terrible thing!' ;-)

Hehe.

The "Weird Warfare" show was basically an amusing rehash of the prior
"Weird Weapons of the Allies/Axis" shows.

Some worked, like explosive flour.

Some are examples of "oops, didn't think of that." Like the Soviet
'anti tank' dogs with explosives strapped onto their back and trained
to run under enemy tanks, at which point a wooden lever tripped the
explosive.

The "oops" is they trained them using Russian tanks, of course, but
theirs used different fuel than German tanks and since dogs are quite
smell sensitive they had a shockingly high tendency to run under their
own rather than the enemy's. Oops.

Does sound a little like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, don't it?



Don't tell me. They bought the dogs from ACME?
