So they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's." He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent. (Luke 20:21-26 ESV)

Jesus, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, but render unto God what is God's.
Inquisitor: "But Jesus, what is God's and what is Caesar's?"
Jesus, "What do the Scriptures say?"
IQ, "Ah, Psalms 24:1 says, "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it."
Jesus, "You have answered well my child."
IQ, "But what then is Caesar's?"
Jesus, "The rest is his."
IQ, "I don't get it."
Jesus, "Neither does Caesar. But don't feel bad, Christian-church scholars have misinterpreted these explicit words of mine for 17 centuries, ever since their church was enthralled by Rome and they began to receive a share in the booty. I told them they could only serve one master, but, nooo, they were loyal, patriotic citizens of the State. Even when their other master turned them into tax slaves they remained loyal subjects, if rather subjugated ones. There's just no accounting for the depth of stupidity among those who try to serve two masters."
