Matthew 22:19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" 21 "Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. | Yes, but it also doesn't promote secularism either. From my understanding and the passages you quoted Christianity advocates tolerance of gov't, that's all (a smart move at the time because anyone overtly critical of the Roman gov't could be executed.). Just because Christianity doesn't promote a theocracy doesn't mean it therefore promotes secularism.

Lean: Very Conservative Gender:  | Re: Debate Politics Lesson For Today: Islamism = Bad This thread just shows the hate people have for us Christians. It starts out all lieberal, trying to say that muslims aren't terrorists, and somehow somebody decides that Christianity is just as bad. We are a peaceful, moral group of people lead by the almighty GOD!

Islam directly translates to peace, and they claim to also be moral by the standards of their almighty god.
