Cashing Out

In America, everyone disagrees with some policy of the government. The government is so big it cannot be customized to fit everyone's belief. Most people feel the government murders either the unborn via abortion or the people of the middle east via war. They will all say they don't support the government, but they all do. When they signed their 1040 they admitted to the rest of the world that they are an accessory in those murders. They chose to live in more comfort rather than save lives.

If people really cared they would minimize the tax they pay and the interest payments they make. No one is forcing them to work 40+ hours a week (and give 30% of their earnings to the government). No one is forcing them to take out loans for expensive homes and cars (and give half of the total cost to the banks). But every time they do they make the government and the federal reserve stronger.

If you don't support the government, then don't support the government. Activism is a joke. Violence never works. Just cash out. That way, it isn't treason and you are not an accessory. Live in a small apartment. Use a bike for transportation. Grow your own food. Humility.

Jesus said the same thing once. Christians are too pussy to listen to his message.

Matthew 22

Paying Taxes to Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
 18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
 21 "Caesar's," they replied.
      Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
 22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

What do your dollars say on them? FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE. Then give your dollars back to the federal reserve. Cash out. Fuck it. They can't tax you and get stronger if you don't make any money. Live a simple lifestyle. Don't buy new clothes. Ever. Don't buy TV's or cable.

Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." The only thing you owe Caesar is his bitch ass money. What you owe God is your time, energy, heart, soul, and mind. But how can people give that to God when they are too busy working 40+ hours a week so they can live comfortably.

Some fags might also point to Romans 13.

Romans 13

Submission to the Authorities
 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Let's compare this to the gospel of Luke.

Luke 4

The Temptation of Jesus
 1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, 2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
 3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."
 4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.”
 5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
 8 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'
 9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
   “'He will command his angels concerning you
      to guard you carefully;
 11 they will lift you up in their hands,
      so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'
 12 Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
 13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

Now you can see why Saul of Tarsus is a false prophet. Luke shows us that the devil has authority on earth. Paul says to obey that authority. Jesus tells us to love God. I ask you this, how can you love God without rejecting the devil? How is Paul in the bible? Who believes his shit?

What I am beginning to see is that the bible has been severely mutilated through the years. Jesus is the Truth. And his Father in Heaven isn't always the same dude in the old testament.

Deuteronomy 6: 10-11

10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

The LORD right there seems to emphasize possessions and material shit. (wtf). Very similar to the Devil in Luke 4. Jesus' Father in Heaven doesn't emphasize that shit. He is all about humility. And Truth.

Someone once said, “What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God”

Be humble. Cash out. Stop working for possessions and comfort. Vow of poverty 2009.
