Should DC require the Church to follow a law it considers immoral?

Somebody Explain the other option to me - does the church get to NOT follow the law because they consider it immoral?

Think about what the muslims would do with THAT situation...

Don't get me wrong - it's a stupid law - but the church doesn't get to decide what laws to obey and what ones not to.

Is there something about the First Amendment that YOU don’t get?

No, rather than follow an immoral law, the Church will instead get out of the charity business.

This is an imposition of a state-created morality upon the Church. It has not only the right but the responsibility to resist it.

You are confusing the issue. The Muslim desire to impose their practices on Western societies has nothing in common with the objection of the Church to being forced by the state to do something which quite simply violates traditional Christian morality (the morality upon which our society was built, incidentally).
