The message belongs in the pulpit, once he took his message to the secular world, he became subject to secular laws. "...to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."

What Christ was saying, Luis, is that God's laws stand apart from secular laws. Secular laws allow you to kill your baby as it comes out of the birth canal. God's laws do not. Secular laws allow you to go and have anal intercourse with 10 men in a bathhouse. God's laws do not. Secular laws allow you to ignore the Sabbath. God's laws do not. Secular laws allow you to trash your parents. God's laws do not. Secular laws allow you to leave an injured party on the road. God's laws do not. Etc. etc. etc. THIS issue, whether a man has the right to state in public what the Bible says, has to do with political tyranny. That is something different.

You keep missing the point, and you're doing it purposedly.

The issue is not the part of the ad which quoted the Bible, the issue was the very human commentary attached to it.
