31. Exactly!

Why didn't someone ask him to explain what he meant.

The question might go something like this: "If I might ask the congressman to explain what he means by the analogy. My memory of that scripture is that the Pharisees were tempting Jesus to make sure he was paying his taxes and thought they would trip him up. So they asked if his disciples paid their taxes. He said, 'Show me a coin.' And they showed him one. 'Who's image and superscription is on this coin?' he asked. 'Caesar's,' they said. 'Render, therefore,' he is reputed to have said, 'unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto God that which is God's.' The people during that time, who evidently were more conversant with analogies and metaphor than some in our halls of Congress understood exactly what he meant. 'Pay your taxes. Your religion, like the Kingdom of Heaven, is spiritual and is within you. Give spiritual things to God, give material things to the powers that be in the material world.' Am I misreading this passage of scripture, Congressman? If not can you please enlighten me. I breathlessly await your brilliant exposition. As it seems to me you're saying that abortion is OK in the material realm but not in the spiritual, or maybe it's the other way around. I'm totally confused."
