Obey God's Law, Not Man's Law

Sunday March 5, 2006
Apparently, American courts and politicians have betrayed God by putting their own liberal, atheistic preferences in front of His will and laws. They are guilty of "high treason against God’s Law, the Constitution and the People," charges that are even more serious than those leveled by Ann Coulter! When Ann Coulter's allegations appear moderate and sensible, you know things are getting strange.

According to Operation Save America:

We are at the point in history where we must decide whether we will obey God and His Law or obey man and his ever-changing standard. There will be a high price to pay either way and there is no neutrality. A battle is being prepared in Montgomery Alabama at this very moment. Judge Roy Moore is already falsely accused of being a rebel for upholding the Law of God and the Alabama and U.S. Constitution.

They may be non-violent, but they do want to establish a theocracy in the United States where their religion — and by that I mean their version of Christianity to the exclusion of all others — is established as the controlling principle by which all laws and norms are judged.

This is a good example of the far right-wing of Christian Nationalism: Christians who sincerely want to see an end to democracy, where we have government of, by, and for the people, and have it replaced with a theocratic system controlled by self-appointed spokesmen for God. Non-violent opponents of liberty and democracy can be just as much of a long-term danger to America as the violent ones.
