#1 Wow! You mean the Church of England is going to give up its Tax Exempt status? cool!

What? No?

Then shut the f**k up.

#2 What part of 'thou shall not covet' does this man not understand? It's not like recalling 10 basic instructions would be that hard.

#3 But P2K you forget that all those nasty rules are not for the elite of which he considers himself one. The same with the Gores and Obamas of this world.

They are wannabe dictators whose creed is "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine".

#4 The diiference between charity and "forced charity" is deeper than the marianas trench.

#6 The Archdruid is on a roll. He's in favor of Sharia law also as only a hairy leftist could.

#7 I love how so many churches are so eager to advocate using the power of govt. to force people to pay for the things the churches want done but can't get their own members to pony up for. Just one of a long list of reasons I walked from the Episcopal/Anglican Church.

#8 CrazyFool, why would a branch of the government pay taxes to itself? As for Williams wanting forelock-tuggers who pay their tithes, he doesn't *want* tithes, he wants his fair share of ~~the loot~~ taxes.

Frankly, I'm waiting for the rest of the Anglican communion to put the Archbishop on trial for heresy. He's pretty much thrown the Nicean Creed out with the bathwater.

#9 Sorry Mitch if I'm ignorant here on this side of the pond. Are you saying that taxes support the COE?

I like to highlight this by calling rape "vagina redistribution".

#11 D *** NG IT, IMO at least the good ARCHBISHOP is one of the very few world personages to formally admit or infer it.

AMERIKANS = IRANIANS, etal = WHERE'S OUR VOTE, not only for OWG-NWO per se but also for TRANS-NATIONAL, REGIONAL, + GLOBAL TAXATION TO SUPPOR SAME. among other???

"2012" MOVIE > IMO "powers that be" trying to scare the US-World into OWG-NWO THAT NO ONE PRO FORMA = DE FACTO ASKED, EXPLAINED, OR VOTED FOR, NOR INTEND TO [for a long while to come, iff evar].
