Christine Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 In Germany is the church tax which is 8% from everything you earn. Then the church sends you a paper to ask you for a special church money you should pay once a year. They also collect money during every mess and you have to pay for weddings and funerals and every now and then children stand in front of your house to collect money for the church. Is this for everyone or only if you're a member of a church? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also collect money during every mess and you have to pay for weddings and funerals and every now and then children stand in front of your house to collect money for the church. in spain,every year,all spanish do a "declaration of our incomes" (declaración de la renta in spanish,i don´t know how to translate it) as we pay taxes in everything we buy,then,when you do that declaration,and the government sees you have paid all the taxes and you earn few money,they bring back to you that money. well,in that declaration you have to fill in a box with your bank account,or just put an X in the box which says "FOR THE CHURCH". i don´t know ANYONE who puts the X in that box.... and i´m pretty sure that it will disappear in the coming years... we have to pay A LOT if we want to marry in a church (the more "cool" the church is,the more expensive)... when i baptized my son,they give you a paper which says.... "YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE WITH MONEY IF YOU WANT TO. 30€ IS THE MINIMUM" :boxed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Angel Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 "Whenever I see a church I am attracted to it. I step inside and love the escape and detachment I feel within those walls."

"I am 27, I am pro choice, pro contraception, pro gay union, pro tolerance, and most of all pro faith if not religion." What does this "pro" mean?
