21. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's
And, in this republic, the courthouse is Caesar's. That's the way it is.

You want it the other way, that's how they do it in Iran. And how they did it in Salem in the 17th century, and in Spain during the Inquisition. Not compatible with a constitutional republic.

Once again, so-called Christians aren't even willing to abide by their own rules. This case has nothing to do with the moral value of the Ten Commandments, and everything to do with the consistent application of the law-- both civil and canon.

And, in case anybody's thinking that somebody ought to pay for this, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."
