Actually the question in the thread topic is the bat**** crazy concept of charging non Christians a head tax posited by a nutjob who gets off on creating havoc.

I say muslims vote overwhelmingly for democrats. Don't allow immigration of muslims and don't vote for Democrats and America will be less like muslim countries.

Which is amazing, since Falwell never had anything to do with christianity in the first place. It's like James Smithson leaving a fortune to fund a museum in a country he had never visited.

I suppose some of your distant family is still in Pakistan. Why don't you get them all here?

Uneducated. Check.

You misspelled "Greed".

I don’t disagree, but in the original post, he specifically says that since muslim countries do it, the US should too.

Hardly afraid of Christians. I am agnostic. I don't know. For those who do "know", if you are a Christian, Allah will send you to hell for being an infidel, and if you are a Muslim, Yahweh will send you to hell for being a nobeliever and a heathen.


The really neat part is that both religions share the same Abrahamic god along with the Jews, who are also going to hell, BTW. Hell is going to be really crowded and sweaty, I'll bet. You'd think any supreme being worth his salt would have explained himself a bit more clearly a long time ago about what it was he really wanted.

Either all of them are correct, or none of them are correct.

I don't believe Christians and Muslims share the same god. You can't completely explain a god differently and have the same god. It's likely Jews and Christians serve the same god. Jews and Christians have a direct link and lineage almost as much as Protestants and Catholic do, but it's also possible that Jews and Christians don't serve the same god. It's possible there is no god. It's irrelevant to me whether they have the same god or not. Islam is incompatible with everyone else. The problem to the extent it exists between Jews and Christian is not religion but Jewish ethnocentrism as many Christians are very pro-Jewish. The primarily problem with Islam among its various problematic beliefs is it is a religion of conquest and total submission.

You would perfectly fit well in China and North Korea where they practice state atheism.

Other than that, it's still an incredibly divisive idea.
I hate First Amendment. Period.
