Good article.

What is rightfully Caesar's? What is rightfully God's? I would side that things fall under the latter category. Hence, my blog title.

Excellent post.

My only concern is your inclusion of "wealth-creation" as a presumably bad thing.

Can you explain how the creation of wealth is a bad thing? Is wealth creation not how we feed and clothe an exponentially expanding population? Or do you presume that we can just get by with whatever exists right now forever?

I would also say that non-voting is also non-support, and non-responsibility. I don't want to be complicit in the sins that the person I could have voted for commit. I don't want to aid in helping them have the power to order killing. I don't want to aid in them being paid a salary that is collected by force. I don't want to aid in them lying and pandering. etc.

Rather, I want to encourage change through non-violent means, through the Kingdom and voluntary interaction, rather than via the Sword.

And, Mark, I absolutely agreed about alternative systems. I am particularly reading a lot on various forms of mutualism and agorism, lately.
