Sensible corruption
Years ago I was at the then girlf's house with her mum who happened to be the thumpingest bible thumper this side of Greater Thumpingam in Thumpingshire.

They had some people round fitting double glazing and the guy doing it asked the mum if she'd mind paying him cash so they didn't have to declare tax. For whatever reason she asked me what I thought. I thought about it, moved my mouth around in a thinky fashion and suggested that she tells them she'll pay in cash if they do a decent job and maybe stick an extra year on the warranty or something.

Her eyes closed.

Her mouth curled upwards into a grin that could only be described as self satisfied.

"WELL MY CHRISTIAN FAITH WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DO THAT", she declares, speaking the words as though she was giving birth to a golden child of wonder.

Why ask me then huh? Why? Huh? Well why? Huh? Huh?

"At least you've found a way to be smug about double glazing though, eh?"

It was a test of your character.
You failed, and this heralded the end of your relationship.

Indeed.
The correct answer to her question would have been "Did Jesus not say 'render unto Caesar...'?".

Jesus would have come in it.
He was base upon the Babilonian wanker-gods after all...

I love how her Christian faith,
means obsequience to the Exchequer.

Well. St. Matthew was a tax collector until he met Jesus.
Then he gave it up to follow Jesus.

Therefore it would be going against Jesus to pay them.

I was going to say exactly the same thing
Although much less eloquently, so probably best that you got there first.

You have not read enough of the bilble then...
Jesus is generally understood to agree with the payment of tax to the government.
