*Z* - The Queen of Dubcc:
naa for germans its an obligatory tax...its the idea they had back in the dark ages when the church was sacularized, so everyone had to pay the chruch a tax( it was called a"10th" it is still called that way) to compensate for the dispossession

If youre forced to pay the church then it's wrong!... In Denmark it's pretty much like unsubscricing an e-mail newsletter.. I don't really get why I'm still a member hehe..

You're forced to pay? I don't remember the catholic church being in power of the monetary system. They can't impose taxes, since you don't get your income through them. Only the state can do that. You would have to give your money to them. Voluntarily. At least, I don't remember the church forcing people to pay at gun point. If they make a claim over your money and you give in to their demands, that's you acknowledging their thievery. That makes you just as guilty of a moral crime.

You're not forced to pay churchtaxes in Denmark since you are free to sign out of the church..
But according to *Z* you are forced in Germany because it's an obligatory tax. And you can't sign out again if you signed in. And that is fucked up IMO :)
Oklin:
BTW. In Denmark, just by paying ordinary taxes to the state, you are paying the church. Because the church is being payed by the state. But far from as much as if you are a member of the church and pays churchtaxes..
