Thus, the nation-state practice of taxation must be seen as a liturgical act: a character forming practice similar to Christian practices of tithing and almsgiving. It is the liturgical practices of the church that provide a model for tax resistance: we spend so much time tithing and giving, we have nothing left for Caesar."

By examining the rhetoric involved in voting as a form of civic participation within the larger governmental structure of the state, we will attempt to determine into which kingdom — the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Man — this practice can be classified."
