[QUOTE="Norinoo, post: 2845562, member: 40235"] This is why I view this group people call government as nothing but an organization of criminals in suits. These criminals the average Joe and Jane choose to be their masters come election time have no problem stealing from each paycheck we earn. "Thou shall not steal" comes to mind. If it is morally wrong for me to steal, how is it moral that voters can choose people to be their masters who will steal from me or you without our consent? And worse yet, use the money stolen from me to give to their fellow criminal gang members to buy weapons to be used against defenseless people around the world because those criminals seek to control other people. Look at how the innocent children in Gaza are being murdered day after day after day by criminals who are friends with the criminals people here vote into power. Sickening. I see the entire thing coming back to 1 Samuel 7. People rejected God, decided to make a god in their image and called it government. Not only do people reject God as their rightful leader, they made themselves an idol. Basically, violating both the 1st and 2nd Commandments in one shot. The reality is that God owns everything in the universe. When Jesus said "render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's", it seems he was essentially saying is that Caesar owned nothing because everything belongs to God. I get fed up with Christians who tell me that it is my duty to vote, to pay taxes and to give respect to thieves in suits. Government is in my view the Beast. Why anyone of religious conviction would honor the Beast makes no sense to me. My leader is my Creator. There are less than a dozen natural principles coded into my humanity that are easy to follow. The first half provide the answer as to how to interact with my Creator. The second half of these principles provide the answers of how to deal with my fellow man. I've yet to successfully fulfill those few laws entirely. I think it's more important that I get those ten down pat before I worry about the laws made by the Beast. [/QUOTE]
