There is a false analogy.

No. Actually it's the perfect anaology since it is right on point with what we are speaking of.

God's law directly commands us to treat all humans with dignity.

So you agree with us then that some judicial decisions are to be ignored at times?

The Christian is only allowed to violate the ruling authorities...

Judge Moore is not violating the ruling authorities (see my above post re: definition of "governing authorities")

...if obeying them would violate God's law....

The whole point is that it is the judges that ruled the ten commandments removed who are not submitting to the governing authorities. Remember, Judge Moore is correct. The other judges who want the ten commandments removeed are not following the constitution (which is part of our "governing authority").

Judge Moore is not required by God to submit to ungodly, unconstitutional judicial decisions, which, BTW, do, in fact, violate God's laws (they put aside Gods instructions to glorify him, and instead folow the precepts of secular humanism. I argue this is a violation of Gods laws).

But you admitted that the courts are sometimes wrong (as in Dred Scott). In fact the courts are wrong with regard to the constitutionality of the 10 commandments

So a judge isn't an authority? That is a logically indefensible position, unless you'd like the Republic to descend into chaos.

I tire of this conversation. It is clear you believe we can ignore the Courts at our discretion simply because we disagree with them. I don't believe that. We'll leave it there.
