When we have people deciding what "just and unjust" laws they will or will not be following, we've lost the Republic.

Genuine Christians will not and should not obey unjust laws, because they are out of conformity with Divine Law, which supercedes every law of man. Just laws, even if they speak on matters that are inherently amoral, are not contradictory to Divine Law. To know the difference requires an understanding of the Word of God and a well-formed conscience.

America was founded on a presupposition of Christian morality (even amongst those who were not Christian). We have moved away from that presupposition, leading to a proliferation of unjust laws; in doing so, we may have already lost the Republic.

Thanks for making your position clear - you believe that your particular Bible or theological interpretation trumps US law. I'm assuming then you won't mind if other people do the same - remember, do unto to others have you would have them do unto you?

So when a Muzzie decides to chop someone's head off because they don't like the cartoon that person has drawn about Allah, you've got no problem with that, right. After all, Divine law supersedes every law of man.

Every argument has a logical conclusion. I'm not sure I really like where the logical conclusion of your argument takes us, as a country.
