Let me Change Your Mind about Hillsong Paying Tax
In this episode, Konrad and Alice play "Give me 10 minutes to change my mind" on the topic of whether churches should pay taxes. Join in on the fun and play along at home. Will we change your mind?
Konrad goes toe to toe with an ex-Christian Atheist named Will, who creates content critiquing the Christian worldview. Alice tries to convert a Christian lobbyist named Chris from the Australian Christian Lobby.
We discuss:
Arguments FOR churches paying taxes:
- Separation of religious organisations from other non-profits.
- Churches should be held accountable and have a more complicated tax system.
- Financial transparency is necessary to ensure money is spent appropriately.
- False counseling services and lack of regulation are concerning.
- Churches should be taxed like businesses to ensure accountability.
Arguments AGAINST churches paying taxes:
- Complexity of church structures makes it impractical to tax them.
- Keeping churches tax-exempt helps to keep them out of politics.
- Churches provide valuable services like non-government healthcare and counseling.
- Mega churches should be held accountable, but not all churches are the same.
- The right to engage in politics is justified if supported by people who pay taxes.
