You can think i'm a fanatic, but I'm quiet, and i just want to share my experience with God, that i have full certainty is good, of good name, beatiful.

We are people made from flesh, but also a soul and spirit, we humans are sick, sick in the soul, that only the sacrifice of Jesus can fix.

God bless you all... Happy Christmas.

And, please start throwing whatever... .

As long as you're not prepared to kill for your God, I see no real problem. It's your life, you decide how to live it. I know I don't think as you, but that's just me

Maybe I would not kill for my god, but I want public schools to teach his dogma, and want the state to base legislation and laws on his commands, and taxes I do not want to pay, too, but want you to pay for our latest [enter building name].

Glad to hear that all this is no problem for you! Else I would feel really offended!

and taxes I do not want to pay, too,but want you to pay for our latest [enter building name].

A religion that carries out charity or social work can apply for tax breaks just like any other eligible charity or social group can.
Religious people constructing a building that is eligible for a grant can apply for exactly the same grants as any people constructing any building that is eligible for a grant.
Your hatred of religion blinds you to simple facts and leads you to making nonsensical statements.

There are different laws in different lands.

I see nothing nonsensical in Skybirds post.

A few years later scientists actually measured the rate of Mitochondrial mutations and discovered that they changed about 20 times faster than was earlier reported. This means that "Eve" did not live 100,000-200,000 years ago but rather only 5,000-10,000.

So, we all come from one mother, we reproduced with our brothers and sisters and we keep up the same way till today, eh?
Well, since the last time i checked, incest was a punishable crime so we're all going to hell. Then why bother?

Show me the law that says Skybird has to pay a membership levy to a church that he doesn't belong to

You read much more into the sentence than I have written.

Slight problem there
Its because you was disputing what I had said about what Skybird has written.
Your link shows that I was correct about Skybirds claims.

So if I write about someone ....."making nonsensical statements."
Then you dispute that with......."I see nothing nonsensical in Skybirds post."...but post a link which shows the statement by Skybird really was nonsense.
You can see clearly that it wasn't a case of me reading too much into what you have written, it is a case of you not reading what it was you were attempting to defend.

Actually the law in Germany requires everybody with an income to pay a certain amount of "Church Tax", which is nothing but a membership fee. You can get around that by officially leaving your church.

[Skybird]

Is this church tax thing still going on?

In Germany, church tax is mandatory, the state collects it together with social taxes etc. You do not pay it yourself, but you never get handed it out with your wages - it already is substracted.

If you want not to pay that, you have to leave the church.

there are now consdierations to make people not belonging to any church, paying a comparable ammount of money nevertheless, which should be used for the same purposes as the church tax. since the church tax gets spend on church projects and church-run institutions in the widest meaning, this replacement payment for non-members of the church forces them to pay the church nevertheless.

It gets called Ethik-Steuer (ethics tax). If that is no sardonic irony.

Not more and not less I said, meant, indicated, had on my mind, put in words.

It's always the same: once I have somebody on ignore list, I nevertheless still can identify him as the centre of trouble - just by telling it from the reactions of others to him. If people know I do not deal with them anymore (and Tribesman has not been left in unawareness) and do not read them and have deleted their displaying of posts they made - why don't they have one final loud ranting about me, give me a load of cosy names and then simply leave me alone...? Wouldn't this be clever? I mean they are wasting their time, not mine. If others do not quote them, I even do not get aware of what they are calling me up for (and if I do, I do not care).
