But He also said the whole "Render unto Caesar..." instruction. Christians are to eschew anything that goes against God, right? Was Caesar using tax $$$ to fund abortions? Sex changes? Today, our government is using tax $$$ to do exactly that. Participation by proxy may be a better term. Regardless, at the end of the day, Christians should be removing themselves from the system so as not to be required to pay for these things. They should be relying on God to provide. Instead, they are all about the almighty...paycheck. How else will we ever survive without making that $$$? Same for CWII or some kinda revolution down in VA. Never gonna happen, because we love $$$ and the stuff we can do with it. So what if it goes to procedures and projects that fly directly in the face of God, right?

Worst or just as bad, Pilate ( Cesar’s proxy ) was referred to as someone who killed Galileans “whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices” (Luke 13:1 ). Pilate committed a lot of atrocities against the Jews when he was governor. How could he do it without using his soldiers? And how are these soldiers paid? with TAXES on Jews of course.
