My grandfather quit the Catholic Church (or more fair it quit him)

2. One problem with equating Church to Country, is that you don't have to

go on Church property, which is private property and maybe you might be trespassing, if you are barred. You can't just avoid your country, which you are physically on at all times unless you make the decision to leave it and become an ex-patriot. So it's not a good analogy. I think we need to find another one. One thing about leaving the Church is no one is going to come after you for a tithe. If you leave your country without paying your taxes you are in trouble. If you live and work in your country you have to pay taxes. You never have to do anything for your Church if you leave and no one is going to come after you. Try dropping out while living in this country, you might end up in jail.
