"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."

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.

No. That's not what I said at all.

I said that Christians have no moral obligation to obey unjust laws. And those same Christians have a moral obligation to fight to change those unjust laws.

Sometimes there are repercussions to breaking laws of the land that one deems "unjust" - it might end up being jail, it might end up being something worse. Dr. King ended up being thrown into the Birmingham Jail for his role in the civil rights movement. In this woman's case, it might end up being thrown in jail for "kidnapping" her own child, who she deems to be in danger. In the example you gave, said Muslim should end up on death row.

Don't draw "logical" conclusions where no such conclusions exist.

And it might do you some good to pick up a copy of "Democracy in America" and ponder at the damage done to our nation moving away from Christian morality.
