DFW, I take it, is Dallas-Fort Worth? I drive 120 miles daily in L.A., so I know something about staying alive on the freeway--and I do drive the speed limit. Try it, you'll like it! By the way, I don't believe for a moment that driving the speed limit breaks a law against impeding traffic.

With respect to your challenge about living in a country where owning a Bible is illegal--you've oversimplified it. Christians are commanded by that Bible (Romans 13) to obey the civil laws, because the civil authorities derive their authority from God. But that same Bible also makes clear that where the civil law contradicts God's law, we are to obey God's law instead. Doing so may subject us to paying the penalty in that society for breaking its laws, as millions of Christians have knowingly chosen to do.

But will it incline us to break other laws?
