>>>well, I don't think Christianity requires it. Render under Caesar that which is Caesar's. Our fate does not depend on -- it transcends and is greater than -- the secular power of the state. I can't say I approve of disobeying the court order here. But I certainly approve of the sentiment.

And Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, thanks you! :))

I recognize the existence of solid counterarguments to my position. I kinda waited until the very end of the day to say it. And I really *do* admire Aqua for going out there, I'm not saying it's not great that people aren't out in front of the courthouse. But disagreeing with a court order is one thing and defying it is the other. Christ generally complied with Roman law -- even to drink from the bitter cup.
