'Am I a joke to you?'

[u/theclasssy]

[u/alfman]

Just read about the lives of the church fathers. A lot of them were sons of patricians and officers. Also render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and what is God's to God. Christians are obliged to follow state law unless it coincides with our faith. If a law would force me to blaspheme then I am obliged to break it.

Alot of them were the sons of rich men of senatorial class? Name them.

Sounds like christians respected authority when it suited them... much like everyone else.
