    God Doesn't Pay Taxes

    ....... but can't see hypocrisy in pronouncing what to render unto Caesar.

    If you check again the story of Joan of Arc you can see how hard she worked to get this deadbeat prince to assume his hereditary validity and claim the throne of France, only to be betrayed for her efforts, except for the promise to not tax her hometown per her request.

    Strangely, Joan was guided by entities, at least their voices, or their foresight, to help this deadbeat duke into power through battle and skirmishes with the occupying English (occupying France) in the latter part of the hundred years war. She was so successful in military matters that the English figured she was some kind of witch. She was given to know enough about the future that she would have one year of military effectiveness, but because of the deadbeat duke, whom she was trying to help, she only got to use about six or seven months of her one year of fame. She was never told how she would die...in exchange for this fifteen minutes (so to speak) of fame. Both she and her guides were convinced that this deadbeat duke was the best thing for the relative liberation of occupied France, whose throne was claimed by an English king, assuming hereditary validity, but apparently not as valid as the deadbeat duke's claim.

    All this raises red flags for anyone trained in my brand of philosophy. Maybe more later.
