When people donate to religious groups, it's tax-deductible. Churches don't pay property taxes on their land or buildings. When they buy stuff, they don't pay sales taxes. When they sell stuff at a profit, they don't pay capital gains tax. If they spend less than they take in, they don't pay corporate income taxes. Priests, ministers, rabbis and the like get "parsonage exemptions" that let them deduct mortgage payments, rent and other living expenses when they're doing their income taxes. So why the fuck wouldn't you want to become a minister?
We’re about “the mindful life” - thinking outside the box, sustainability, conscious consumerism, active citizenship, the arts, personal spirituality, enlightened education…really, anything that helps us to live a good life that also happens to be good for others, and our planet, without the delusional beliefs we are indoctrinated in since birth.
I am the only Atheist preacher that I know of and I find that people need the spiritual guidance not offered from your traditional pulpit. You see, the message I preach isnt about whose god has the bigger dick but how to break free of traditional religious bondage and embrace the life that any supreme being, whose image we are supposedly created in, intended. That includes ALL aspects of life not just things spiritual. Things like being in touch with who you truly are and being yourself. Keeping it real. No reason to wear a mask and being a phony here. I dont get hung up on petty bullshit like “dirty words” or “foul language” - as a matter of fact its how I talk so if shit like that offends you stop reading now and move on.
If you want a fresh message and be entertained at the same time THIS is the place for you.
