I thought of something similar when I saw the title of this thread pop up on my radar again. I was thinking how the world was completely different then. I felt a little weird with the post I made above. Especially considering the references in the above quote were originally about wealthy Romans paying tribute to Caesar.
I don't think Jesus would be comfortable as either a Republican or a Democrat. He'd probably be an anarchist and the powers that be would seek to punish him somehow.
