[quote=GnosticChristianBishop][quote=Anonymous][quote=GnosticChristianBishop]Give to Caesar. Why? Better law and justice?

Do you theists crave God’s law on earth, --- or do you think Jesus was saying that secular law was better?

Giving to Caesar includes loyalty and allegiance to the law of the land.

Jesus would not recommend an inferior justice system.

I guess that the choice is between God’s tyranny, --- and liberty to only follow the law, --- another tyranny, --- which has already negated any notion of freedom for man.

Is secular law inferior or superior to the laws of the Gods?

We live in a religiously pluralistic society.  To impose a religious law on such a society requires imposing a shared religious conception on it - such attempts have resulted in massive bloodshed (in the West, see the Thirty Years War, the English Civil War, etc)  So for the sake of life and peace (religious values) we accept a secular concept of law.

Indeed, as we also know that that law is a lot better than theistic law.

The God of the earth, in terms of law, the important part of life, is now a secular God.

Three cheers. Right?
