I ponder the same question when I do tax returns every year. The way our tax code is written, you could say that not even Caesar knows what he wants in a given year.

For those who say government should not legislate morality, why are 18 year old soldiers unable to legally drink beer, while 13 year old girls can get an abortion without parental consent?

So.... I guess all the early martyrs went to hell for not offering sacrifice to the pagan gods when ordered to by the Roman authorities?
