First of all, while the idea that taxation=theft may SOUND nice, in reality it's bogus. I don't even consider the money Bush is sending to the so-called faith based groups as 'stolen" from me. I sure as fuck don't like it - but it's not being stolen.

And I have never heard that Magdaline was a pagan princess, but I have heard that much scholoarship has been done on her in recent years, and it seems that the whole "Magdaline as prostitute" story may be a papist concoction from the 3rd century.

PD, how is it not being stolen? Who willingly pays taxes? Very few people. Most of us who pay our taxes do so out of fear of being thrown in jail.

That's theft, buddy, just as much as if you pay some mobster in the protection racket so he doesn't beat your ass.
