And I never suggested living on the dole. I don't pay income tax and I'm not on the dole.
I believe we are supposed to follow God’s laws as best we can but pointless self-flagellation and sacrifice benefits the unborn how?
Pointless what?? First of all I didn't suggest "self-flagellation," so please don't mischaracterize my argument. Secondly, depriving the government of the revenue to fund abortion is not pointless.
I can only imagine what you'd have advised Christian martyrs who readily DIED for the faith.
I'm not asking anyone to die or break laws. I'm saying, change the government by the only possible non-violent means: stop sending it your money. If enough people did that, abortion would end fast. That is the POINT you are striving to miss.
There is no more effective protest and correction of the godless government than to refuse to fund it.
Do you live where there are no property taxes?
You don’t own a car or home or personal property?A computer ?
Just exactly how can one (you)not pay taxes?
Every thing you buy has taxes ,even food in some states.
Actually living the faith strikes me as better than dying,to wit, if “they listen not,then leave that place,and shake the dust from your sandals as sign”.I can’t find the passage commanding “harangue and harass them until they believe”.
As a sectarian writer said:”a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still”.
The One sent by God to atone has already been crucified;my seeking out such a death isn’t what I believe to be God’s will;NOT denying God if one finds oneself prisoned by evil is different.
I am too much a sinner to think my seeking out martyrdom would save anyone;indeed,it seems presumptious.
Do you send all your money beyond that necessary for meager rations to fund anti-abortion efforts?
Do you picket?
Vote for pro-life politicians?
Fund FR?
How you find money for any of those things would be an interesting story.
