“Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s”—I thought the quote went something like that. It’s begging the question that Caesar even gets a cut. Some people might believe that everything belongs to God, in which case I guess Caesar is shit out of luck.

In its original context, it meant: "You are literally using money with Caesar's face on it - if you use his coins, how can you object to paying his taxes?"
(It's worth noting this was said in response to an attempt to trick the King into a false dilemma - of either denouncing Roman taxes, in which case they can report him to the Romans for sedition - or saying "yes pay the taxes", in which case they could paint him as "ungodly" for "supporting" the roman occupation. It didn't work, of course - don't mess with the King.)

It means when offered the death shots, return it to Caesar, because it belongs to Caesar.
And let Mother Nature take care of yourself.
The best quote in the Bible, by far.
