As someone who keeps as far away as I possibly can from both the church AND the state, I gotta say, that's a pretty funny line.
They don't have paved roads, running water, stop signs, or streetlamps where you live?
Those things are what I pay taxes for, yes.
I consider them (mostly) fair value for what I pay.
Just because I make use of certain governmental functions does not mean that I must submit to the government getting into other areas of my life -- especially those that do not affect other citizens one way or the other.
