Clergy Response Teams Render Unto Caesar

WCT roving reporter Rachel Tension is covering this late-breaking item about the federal government’s training of clergy to quell dissent by citing Romans 13 during martial law.  Blogger Sally Wilde is following the story from WCT’s Colorado office …

Sally:  What’s the mood in Shreveport, Rachel?

Rachel:  It’s business as usual, Sally, people are shopping mostly.  Earlier today I interviewed John Blanchard, chief minister at Saint Eulalia’s here in Shreveport.  Father Blanchard told me he had trained at Fort Benning, Georgia, with a group of clergy who were subsequently deployed to secret CIA camps to (quote) help the faithful find solace in the moments before they experienced an accidental death.  I’ll have more on that later.  Back to you, Sally …

Exodus 4:10-12
10 Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." 11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."

A few times I've been around that track, so it's not just gonna happen like that, because I ain't no hollaback girl, I ain't no hollaback girl...

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 fell 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 after their other master turned them into tax slaves they remained loyal subjects. There's just no accounting for the depth of stupidity amoung those who try to serve two masters."
