A Taxing Situation

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Does it make sense to assign peacemaking to the military??

Bonus to mark the day:
What if pacifists withhold tax payments because they aren’t represented in Congress?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Some people imagine a divine dictatorship in your heaven. I do not. For then I would also have to expect an earthly dictatorship if my prayers for your dominion on Earth as in heaven would be answered. My vision and expectation of union with you has no place for a hierarchical heaven. I'll join you there...
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I know you Pharisees want to trap me. I’ll make it easy. Tell those Romans there should be no taxation without representation.”

[In your face, Pharisees and Roman sympathizers! No, He never said it.]

D. Blog: A Haiku

God’s peace surrounds us.
God’s love enfolds us.
Of what shall we be afraid?
