Exactly right. Governments come and go, but the Church is forever. All people, not just Christians, are obligated to obey their own informed conscience above any merely human law. That principle was finally codified in the Nuremberg Trials, when the Nazi excuse of "I was only following lawful orders" was rightly condemned.

Along with following one's conscience, though, comes the accepting of any societal consequences, which these religious have spoken to.

There is still that commandment from the Heavenly Father to Moses that still stands.... Thou shalt not steal. Taking taxpayer dollars to fund illegal activity is NOT of God.
