As my good pal Grelbar brought up (in his rather good writing style) so called Church of Finland, yes we have this stupid state church, christian that it is, are pondering counter strike website to oppose to damn good sit of eroakirkosta.fi (which basically creates letters of resignation (from christian church) to different magistrates around Finland and therefore makes your resignation so much easier). Well anyways Grelbar wrote good article on that so I am not going to further details on that, read Grelbar's article if you want to know more.
But what he left out is that every company in finland have to pay money to that church in form of taxes, no matter what religion the owner is or employees are. Now this is what I call FUCKING stupid. Companies don't actually believe in anything except maybe money that is. So how the hell you can avoid paying those taxes, for my knowledge you're shit out of luck. Cannot go around or over that law, so no matter if you're some Islamic pizza bundler or some other you'll pay.Any thoughts on this subject? Insane, yes! One would think that at 21st century this kind of enforcement would be thing of the past but seems not. It is far past the time when any church should receive any monetary support in form of enforcement, they should be able to do fine on themselves and if they can't, maybe it would be good time for some inner thinking etc.. Even thinking this subject makes me mad, we're free people but where's our free will to fucking put our money where we want? Taxes to support government to provide health care etc I can understand but this shit..
