I look askance on churches entering the business world, even if their for-profit operations pay property, sales and other taxes.
The “success Gospel” obviously doesn’t give a damn whose image is on the denarius anyway.
Oh, and why should churches in their actual church operations get to avoid unemployment taxes as well as property taxes?
This is a slice of my philosophical, lay scientific, musical, religious skepticism, and poetic musings. (All poems are my own.) The science and philosophy side meet in my study of cognitive philosophy; Dan Dennett was the first serious influence on me, but I've moved beyond him. The poems are somewhat related, as many are on philosophical or psychological themes. That includes existentialism and questions of selfhood, death, and more. Nature and other poems will also show up here on occasion.

Shouldn’t churches be rendering unto Caesar rather than building shopping malls, etc?
