Charitable exploits.

Fuck the church

 

[MunkyHeed]

Thought so.

So can anyone tell me the actual reason WHY they don't pay tax? Purely historical going back hundreds/thousands of years?

It would anger God.

It would anger God.

Pretty much this. Governments are still scared of upsetting god.

Charitable exploits.

Exploiting charities?

Christianity is not native to Europe, cast it out!

Because being exempt from tax allows them to spend time on charitable works. Like repeatedly preventing old colleagues from being arrested.

Their buildings are operating on the taxpayer's behalf as open prisons for paedophiles

Less money to spend on noncing kids

God doesn't exist and nonexistent entities can't pay tax.

When you pray to God in the UK, it doesn't actually go to God here in the UK, the prayers go via Jesus the son who is based in Luxembourg, and are routed from there to the Holy Spirit in the Cayman Islands, who will pass the prayers on to God via a series of blind trusts.
