Church and greed and indifferent state.

German church members also pay mandatory church taxes that gets collected by the state.

Members of any religious community should negiotiate with dsaid community whethe roir not a emmberhsiup fee is to be paid, and the community shoul,d tak ecare opf it all by itself, like if you were a ember of a chess club, for example. Its worth it for you - you pay and play in club rooms. Its not worth it for you - you pass, pay not, and play not in club rooms. That simple.

Germany loves to describe itself as a secular state. It is not not.

We have just had the prptestant church meeting (Kirchentag). It does not get any greener, woker and gay and lesbian than there. The Protestant church is not the church anymore, its the appendix of the Greens. The Catholic church is a money grabber, is corrupt, protects sexual offenders and pedophiles, and does its best to evade investigatrions and leaves victims behind. Many of the German dioceses are amongst the richest wordwide. Money does not stink.Nobody knows this better than the inventor of indulgence trade (Ablasshandel).

Frnak Herbert, in his Dune novels, describes the rise and fall of the Atreides empire. The Fremen warriosr from the desert conquer the galaxy. But in the later books, the degenerate, and in the end are just a ptiiful shadow of their former self. Museum-Fremen they are called. Thats what the churches today are: shadows, carricatures of the Christians of the time around Jesus' lifetime and its immediate past. Museum-Christians.
