@aetios but you know the funny thing is... I am not baptized in the christian-evangelic church.

(I almost converted though lol)

My mom never really told me that I was baptized in the christian-orthodox church until I was like 14.

But it gets even funnier. Even though I am technically not baptized as evangelic. I still do pay evangelic church-tax.

I asked about that years ago at this point. I brought my document from the other church with me

The man in that office was like:

"I dunno what happened there but somehow you are in here as evangelic since your birth"

(I was born in germany btw)

he added: "If you don't to pay that tax anymore you will have to leave the church but that will only work for the future."

I did never leave though. The thing is that happened more often with people that came to germany as Spätaussiedler. You were just assigned the wrong religion when migrating.

@aetios probably. I atleast want to think the money is getting where its needed. Though I guess making donations does allow to spend the money on a direct cause.

Thinking on and off about the whole thing really. I owe some of who I am today to institutions the church finances as they do a lot of child care and care for the elderly (for me its absolutely the former ofc)

@aetios This much for seperation of church and state.

Still I do pay them my share as well (I could easily just go out of the church and have to pay it)

I atleast want to believe they are doing something good with the money.

Though tbh I could have the same effect when getting out of the church and using the money I get from that to make donations...

@islieb wer wird es Olli sagen?

@aetios @cell @hakui Well if you think about it.... Christians are generally worse off (atleast in germany maybe?)

Though its not a wealth tax but part of income tax.... But in germany you will pay 8% of your income tax as a church tax ontop if you are in one of the two bigger churches.

How is my favorite robo-girl today?

@enbypirate I think Merkel may be debatable for sure if she is or is not a role model. Then again I am not a woman to know for certain what women see as their role model. But I am certain that she did spark something in women that they can do it. Seeing her being very succesful.

I am with you for sure that Weidel certainly not a role-model and should never be considered to be one. (other than maybe for fascists or something?)

@rick @eefi But when it stops... you will be wide awake xD

@rick Alles Lügen!
