I do not need to do this. I am voting for one of His followers and chosen representatives on Earth over the follower of a false prophet and false church and his atheist-worshipping running mate.

Hey thanks for the kind words.

Jesus = socialist. He's the founder of Libertarian thought. If you look at the second half of the Ten Commandments those are regarding mans relationship to his fellow man.  It's the best of the non-aggression axiom. Yes he'd be about healing and exposing corruption but His first priority was bringing men back into right relationship with the Father.

Ever heard of "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"?

When I ever heard it, I always associated it in my head with a sort of separation of political and religious life, or something akin (not Akin) to it. Pay your taxes for you are a citizen, however give to God what is rightfully God's, your life and your prayer. Implying that the government in fact owns and has the right to take whatever money it mints sounds a bit off. Not that I'm implying Jesus wouldn't be in favor of social justice or anything like that. But it was never my interpretation that Jesus said "The government owns your money, it can do what it wants with it".

I always saw it as "just pay your taxes, be more concerned with the result of those taxes" in a social justice way.
