well, other Churches also receive Church tax. It's mandatory as wideawake said in post 5 -- either the Church take the money this way, or it needs to get and share the tax details of its congregants.

It's not only Christian Churches which get this, but also Jews and I think Moslems too

...either the Church take the money this way, or it needs to get and share the tax details of its congregants.

I don't understand this sentence. Do you mean that if the Church doesn't get the tax, levied, I believe, by the state, then it needs to provide the equivalent of our 1040? Provide to who? The state already has it, that's where I'm confused.

My Protestant Church survives on tithe. It's also NOT in a beautiful 500 year old stone cathedral that must need massive upkeep.

If they were getting my tax money, I'd sure like to see where they're spending that money.

As I said before, it's nice to have a beautiful Church costing millions, but then they also ask for tithe to the poor? Put the Church in a warehouse and donate the tithe the Church didn't need.
