Jesus himself was extremely pragmatic in some cases: Give to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar and all that.

People who don't practice should probably study the Bible a whole lot more before telling practicing Christians what to do or not.

> Give to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar and all that.

Everyone always leaves out the "render unto God that which is God's". That second part (not to mention the preceding context) changes the whole meaning of the verse.

Of course we should not forget that. Thanks!
