[QUOTE="No-Designation Man, post: 1530540, member: 18523"] I can definitely understand why you lean towards this reasoning, kel, as I find myself drawn towards desiring to 'stick it to the man' as well. The vile regime will answer for it's sins, but it is not our place to be the avenger of God's wrath, even through 'punishing' by stealing (back) what they have taken. You will do as you must, but do remember that we are commanded to pay taxes as well - even though it's understood (at least around here) that most of that collected money is used for activities that are in support of some rebellion against biblical principles. "[I]And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.[/I]" - Mark 12:17 "[I]Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour[/I]." - Romans 13:5-7 [/QUOTE]
