What would Hitler do with space ships? Colonize the Moon, I guess.
> This is why in Germany there were protests against recording peoples religion during the census.
You already do that for tax purposes, right?
- turbinerneiter 6y agoThe context for this, simplified, rule is policy, power granted to government or institutions (companies, ...) over other people. It is done for tax purposes, yes, and it probably shouldn't be.
- csunbird 6y agoBut, the replacement would be to tax everyone for a smaller amount, which would be unfair. I am not a believer and I do not want to pay from someones sunday ceremonies.
- turbinerneiter 6y agoTrue. Not sure what the best thing to do would be. But I don't think the government needs a list of all people with a certain religion. Could be abused. In the end, the only reason we have this is that the church and the state are to close. Religion is private. If you are a member of a church, you pay your membership fee to the church. No need for the government to be involved. It's nothing I would start a revolution about, but slowly change the system and make it better.
