We are a nation of laws and NOT a nation of theocrats.

"...a time to obey man, a time to obey God...."

Not postulating that this condones the murder, but, on the other hand, it sort of vaporizes your argument.

No it sorta doesn't. In fact, it very much emboldens it. Whose God are you talking about? The Indian's God(s)? The Muslim God? The God of Rah? The Gods of Asgard?

We AREN'T a theocracy, we're a Republic built out of law. When you start advocating that people start breaking the laws of man for the laws of their God, then you might as rename Washington, Tehran.

No one in THIS country gets to break the laws of the people out of some notion of moral superiority.
