They thickens my skin. I don't think most would choose to have thick skin. Kind of like asking for patience I guess. Nobody really wants the process to get what they want, just the end result.
I would prefer that no religion be tax exempt. I honestly believe that when someone pays for something they have a right to have a say in how it is done. The government, through its exemptions, is paying a big part. I would just rather not have them in the mix so they can't say their piece. The government screws up nearly everything it gets oblast in and religion is no exception. Besides, religion does a done job of screwing up faith on its own.
