” How do you feel about those people who helped slaves escape, or those people who helped Jews escape from the Nazis?
Were they “lawless scum”? “
Pathetically lame try with cherry picked blatantly immoral laws. Surprised you didn’t concoct some equally silly straw man like would I consider people lawless scum if they refused to rape or murder and it was “the law” to do so.
Wait, What? "Immoral Laws"? Hold the presses!
You mean to say "The LAW" is not sacrosanct, and that there are *MORAL* laws and *IMMORAL* laws?
So we should disobey "immoral laws" but we should obey "moral laws"?
Well how does a person who simply relies on what they were taught about being a Christian able to determine what is a "moral" law vs an "immoral law"?
I see it as immoral for them to arrest and fine this young man simply because he was grieving a little over the top. This could have been handled with patience and understanding, but instead the Reverend sicced the government on the guy.
Whether he had a *RIGHT* to do so does not address the point of whether it was the moral or appropriate thing to do.
One would think the Reverend wouldn't need bible lessons, but it would seem that someone needs to tell him about "turn the other cheek."
