“Repeating: ...I am commanded to obey the civil laws to the extent they do not violate God’s will...”
For some reason, this makes me think of a particular scene from the original War of the Worlds movie.
It reminds me of Moses, Joseph, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach, Abednego, Esther, Peter and John, Paul, and, um, what’s his name again? Oh, now I have it: Jesus!
