State of CT giving $5 million dollars of tax payer money to religious organizations.

[Rawley]

You are making up bs

??? You objected to this fund solely because it wad for religious institutions.

But if true strip all of them also till the schools are secured first

And again, do you have any support for your claim that the schools in CT are not secure?

 

[progressive hunter]

How the hell is this Constitutional?

Does a state legislature have the legal authority to give tax revenue to religious organizations so they can "beef up security"?

I don't think so

$5 million fund aims to provide security boost for CT houses of worship

Addressing security concerns at houses of worship in Connecticut. State leaders announced a fund providing security grants, and this comes as religious leaders are asking for help. As the Israel-Hamas War continues, fears over antisemitism and Islamophobia are increasing. “If you see what’s...

Dont jump to stupid conclusions

I have been very clear that children are the priority

Third, and last time, what informs you that children are not a priority in CT, other than this fund being for religious institutions, the only thing you have cited.

the link is about religious institutions so thats where I began

If the state had money laying around spend it protecting children first

Which its not doing under this proposal

In fact take it away from security for lard ass judges and mayors

Spend it on schools first

 

[Blues Man]

Go for it.

I don;t live in CT

 

[Blues Man]

It's your position that not one dime of state $ (or federal $) should ever go to any religious institution, ever? Really?

Yes.

They do not pay taxes why should they get taxpayer money?

The government is prohibited from supporting religious institutions

And yet they are not giving everyone money for cameras and alarm systems

By your logic every business should get money from the state to do the same

 

[Rawley]

Yes.

They do not pay taxes why should they get taxpayer money?

Because "they" are us

The government is prohibited from supporting religious institutions

Nope. Do some homework

 

[Rawley]

Sandy Hook

LOL

 

[Blues Man]

Because "they" are us

Nope. Do some homework

So then is every business "us"?

Is every homeowner "us"?

And these are PLACES not people.

It's up to the owner of the PLACES to protect the people when they are there not the taxpayers

 

[Blues Man]

LOL

YEah real funny.

Let me guess you're an Alex Jones accolyte.

 

[Rawley]

So then is every business "us"?

To a much lesser extent

Is every homeowner "us"?

To a much lesser extent

And these are PLACES not people.

It's up to the owner of the PLACES to protect the people when they are there not the taxpayers

Using your "logic" tax payers should not be providing any police protection

 

[Rawley]

YEah real funny.

Let me guess you're an Alex Jones accolyte.

No. I lost a very good friend in Sandy Hook. I just laugh when twatwaffles ignorantly bring up the shooting in an argument.

 

[Captain Caveman]

I would say no.

We are perilously walking the line of government supported religions.

Yes, get it spent on the religion of atheism

 

[progressive hunter]

And yet they are not giving everyone money for cameras and alarm systems

By your logic every business should get money from the state to do the same

myy logic is tax money goes to pay the bills of the government and security of the country and thats it,, not some dumbass liberal program,,

 

[Blues Man]

To a much lesser extent

To a much lesser extent

Using your "logic" tax payers should not be providing any police protection

This isn't police protection it is gifts of taxpayer money so religious institutions can buy shit

And please explain how a building owned by a religious institution is to a greater extent more than the actual people who live and work in a state

 

[Blues Man]

Yes, get it spent on the religion of atheism

Atheism isn't a religion, Moron

 

[Blues Man]

myy logic is tax money goes to pay the bills of the government and security of the country and thats it,, not some dumbass liberal program,,

buildings owned by religious institutions are not "the country"
