It's good to pay taxes and that you think Jesus wants you to pay taxes. I think in the above passage you are missing the point, because it is not telling you to make sure your taxes are paid by the deadline.

"17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites? "
Jesus recognized that these were men only trying to use Christ's teaching to get out of paying taxes. But Jesus does not care about money, things of the flesh are really a waste of time and irrelevant in a spiritual domain, therefore, let Ceasar have his money, after all he printed it, it has his face on it, he can have it.

Back to the point though, I think there is a possibility that this can be a fruitful conversation. How does Bush represent Christ's teachings, and not just Bush, how about Pat Robertson? How long has he been on TV as a minister? Lately, he's made a couple of pretty outlandish statements. Like the whole "maybe we should" concerning Hugo Chavez and my personal favorite, about how the New Orleans disaster was punishment, Sodom and Gamorrah style. Did Pat forget this?

"1 Pet:16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name."

Did Pat believe that everyone was so evil that God struck it down, or did he think the Christians that perished or lost in NO were collateral damage?

Really, the point of the whole thing is whether these representatives, that are internationally reknowned, truly represent the teachings of their faith. I charge that George, Pat, Osama and Al-Zahwari all have distorted the real message so that they could justify killing people. Is that judgemental, or just pointing out the obvious?

"Mat 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Mat 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
