That's the darn point, isn't it? You wouldn't be able to live by yourself. You wouldn't be able to defend yourself or be self-sustaining or to cope with any sort of emergency.
You NEED society to provide your education and your framework in which you grow up.
That, in turn, requires taxes.
Taxation is a public good. Your criminlisation of those whio tax is laughable. You answering people's requests for evidence, backing or reaosnable argument with "no" is simply cretinous.
Is tax a sin? I would say, no it isn't. Taxes are necessary for society to function, just imagine where we would REALLY be without them.
From the religious point of view, Jesus said to "feed the hungry" he didn't say "profit from market conditions".
Jesus said to "heal the sick". He didn't say "Profit from their illnesses".
And what about "render unto Caeser what is Caesers".
"The last will be first"
It's harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle"
I find it ironic that the group claiming the closest association with Christianity these days, the far right wing, are ultra capitalist, and vehemantly opposed to socialism yet the one they claim to follow, Jesus, appears to have been a socialist himself (in practice, I know the concept didn't exist then).
Taxes for the benefit of society overall are not a sin.

You're using Micah from the Old Testament, which I already told you, if you're going to support your stance from Micah, then you mustn't exclude the rest of the Old Testament.
S you're okay with fathers stoning their insolent daughters, owning of slaves if the be from foreign lands, men not shaving, ever etc. etc. etc.

... this one's my favorite. because the translation that came out with the word "camel" could have very easily been mistranslated. the other meaning? a stiff thread.
verse-wise, there's "render cesaer's what is cesaer's, render to god what is god's." that's basically the only political statement in the bible.
and if you go strictly by the book [which -is it obvious- i don't] then you give ten percent [tithe] of your net worth to god. it doesn't really say how often, but modern day churches have set it to every seven days.
tax rates are, as a rule, higher than ten percent. and by the way, that's supposedly said by jesus. so technically, it's a sin to not pay your taxes.
but then again women are supposed to leave the village when they get their periods.
so it all depends on which verses you're willing to accept as true.

No, some laws were given exclusively to the Jews and do not apply to Christians. Judaism died along with Christ on the cross.
Everyone has to come to Christ and confess Him as their Savior.
Titus 1:4 (KJV)
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Revelation, chapter 2:9 (KJV)
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

While we are on the subject public schools are illegal as well as taxes.
The parents are responsible for their own children.

If you have a group of people you will have a society, if you have been home schooled then you need to fire your parents as teachers.
Society: an extended social group having a distinctive cultural and economic organization
Society: A group of people who occupy a particular territory and speak a common language and share a common culture.
Society: A society is a body of humans generally seen as a community. or group of humans or other organisms of a single species that is delineated by the bounds of cultural identity, social solidarity, functional interdependence, or eusociality. ...
You preach about everything is a sin but your one of the biggest sinner as the rest as I have already pointed out. 😉

I meant the "society" as a whole.
I didn't mean Christians didn't need to form their own communities.
As for the sin question, you don't know what you're talking about or you would have repented by now and would be a Christian.

And what the hell do you mean by "society as a whole", you said that society is a lie. You don't even know what you are talking about much less making scene. So you are saying that people don't need people as a whole, or are you saying that the world would be a better place if only "pure" Christan like you were on it. You would like to get rid of the other 5,999,999,999 people in the world?

In your own eyes you think you see things correctly. You don't.
Romans 1:21-22 (KJV)
21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Colossians 2:8 (KJV)
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Isaiah 5:20-21 (KJV)
20: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21: Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
