what has any of this to do with patriarchy?
It was a brain fart, I meant theocracy, it was a brain fart because theocracy is "præstestyre" in my language. Which patriarchy is closer to in the sound of the word.

Yes.
Brainfart, English is not my first language.
I never claimed they aren't trying to influence politics, but they aren't demanding the church should have full control either.
Religious people are delusional, bu luckily the Bible does have some limitations to the influence of their religious delusions, that unfortunately Islam doesn't have. And you can see the difference very clearly in that regard between Christian and Muslim countries. Where AFAIK Turkey is the only somewhat secular Muslim dominated country thanks to Atatürk.
What has paying taxes got to do with ~~patriarchy~~ theocracy?
That he has a right to claim taxes not determined by the church clearly implies that Caesar is a legitimate leader of his realm. And a secular leader being legitimate implies that the Church is not supposed to be the government, but rules the realm of god or the "spiritual" world.
It's not rocket science, it's all pretty obvious, and has never been questioned in any Christian country. Because despite the self contradictions of the Bible, it is actually pretty clear on this point.
Edit:
to theocracy.
Yes destroy DESTROY DESTROY!

So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s
This is one of the corner stones of why Christian countries aren't ~~patriarchies~~ Theocracies like with Islam, and an extremely well known passage.
The 10% recommendation is for the church, or God as they would probably like to imagine.
I had a hard time spotting what is mildly infuriating, until I saw the SSD is only 128GB. And I must say I have to agree, that is way to small.
Babylon 5 is one of the best SciFi TV shows ever made.
I don't get it, that's less than the global GDP, why is there parts of the global GDP they don't consider accessible?
Or in other words, If they really go on to claim that, they are claiming that more than a quarter of the world GDP is accessible market to them!
This is insane, and has no basis in any kind of possible reality no matter how optimistically viewed.
USA is a religiously fascist nation, where protection of minorities is banned, but religious and fascist bigotry against minorities is promoted.
I know a lot of Americans aren't like that, but that's the way the American society seems to be turning.
It's actually worse here in Denmark, prices on ground coffee have more than tripled since 3 years ago.
Back the we could get a 500g pack for a little less than $3.50 USD, now we get only 400g for $10, when on special offer you may be lucky to find it at $7. That's 2½ times the price, even when on special offer.
So needless to say I always buy several bags when it's on special offer. But even then it's more than twice the price of 3 years ago.
Some brands are now even reducing the packages to 350g. Which isn't much more than a half size bag used to be.
I would absolutely read the table of content, but I agree that price is insane.
