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?

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.

"And those same Christians have a moral obligation to fight to change those unjust laws."

I'm all for fighting to legally change unjust laws. I'm completely against disobeying laws because they violate some personal sense of religious or philosophical superiority.

"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."

I would hardly equate Dr. King's acts of civil disobedience with this woman's purposeful violation of a court order - an order only enforcing an agreement that she willfully entered into.

If you don't want to have lesbians in your life, then don't move in with them and enter into a civil contract with them, which is precisely what this lady did. I understand from another poster, that Miller went as far as to petition the court for child support payments from her "partner". You can't ask the court to intervene and then say "never-mind" when a ruling goes counter to your interest. It's un-American.
