-- all human beings are essentially equal.

People who don't accept this may hold on to the name, but they are fooling themselves.--

was you summary of the Xtn message, Kevin. Where, please, does any concept such as that of a "Caesar" fit into this? I am aware of the trick question & the background to the quote: but the concept of someone who must be rendered to with the things that are his does not, SFAICS, fit into your above epitomising hypothesis.

I can't indeed, see how any religion which is in any of its avatars episcopal, papal, or hierarchical in any way at all, can fit your asseveration; which frankly appears nonsensical to me.

I am not a practising Christian, of course; my default position is atheist: but I have been, & am, tho born and brought up Jewish, a baptised and confirmed member of the Anglican Communion. FWIW!
