On the topic of paying taxes (or fines) for things you don't agree with...also on the topic of government in general-
Romans 13:1-7New International Version (NIV)
Submission to Governing Authorities
"13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. [SUP]4 [/SUP]For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."
That's kind of a hard pill to swallow because the governing authorities DON'T exactly have the good of the people in mind (I should say SOME authorities- politicians, particularly). But even so, we are to follow the laws of the land and pay whatever we owe according to those laws. The Bible doesn't say "Follow only the laws that make sense to you" or "Pay only what you FEEL you owe".
It's kind of a raw deal, sure. But there are more important battles for us to fight than thumbing our nose at government/authority that simply wants us to do ridiculous things. Why make trouble for yourself over something that's so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things? Why not wait to stand your ground against something that actually effects your spiritual welfare and goes against God's word?
