The law is not a particular moral instrument, though it tends to serve a moral end. The law is a balancing of right and necessity.And chattel slavery was legal and abortion is legal. Doesn't make it right.
I think at that point it becomes so pointlessly subjective that it's a bit like arguing which ice cream is better.I understand that you won't debate the morality of taxation, and that is fine.
Caesar's is Caesar's, so long as Caesar doesn't demand we give him that which is God's. How's that?On this I hope we can agree in that Jesus, Peter, Paul all said to pay your taxes, no matter how burdensome they can get so we should pay as to not offend them.
