Walk Like An Egyptian: Tax Exemptions for Religious Organizations are a Trap

If the lines of the Bible are marvelous, what can be found between the lines is truly mind-blowing. Take the example of a passage that is eerily similar to today: 20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because the Egyptians, every man, sold their fields, because the famine prevailed over them.

Why I Intend to Study Law

Woe to you lawyers! You load men up with burdens grievous to bear, while you yourselves do not lift a finger to help carry these burdens. Woe to you!

Why Libertarianism Needs the Religious Right

This is an unusual debate for me. I’m used to debating pinkos and commies and right-wingers and suchlike — and I’m sure Gary [North] has had similar experience — where here, Gary and I agree on 99.8% of everything and I’m not sure what the other 0.2% is except this one issue. – Walter Block, [...]
