: : If secular law finds its way into my diet I will rebel.

: For instance, the secular law that requires food service workers to wash their hands? Or do you mean the secular law that prohibits the sale of spoiled, maggot-infested meat? How about the secular law against eating human infants? or the ones that demand ingredients lists and nutritional information on packaging? Maybe it's the secular law prohibiting the inclusion of rat meat in canned soup that bugs you?
: Frankly, I can accept a few "secular laws" interfering with my diet, and I bet you can as well, if you stop to think about it.


I agree with Floyd (except for the Darwin fan club bit) Most of our laws are secular, and God requires us to follow and obey all secular laws that the "people in charge" have invented. There is only one exception. If any law contradicts what God says in the Bible (and I cant think of any laws in America like that) or if any law requires you disobey God (again there are none) then you must not obey that law. God is more important than anything else.
For example, back in the segregation days, the law was that whites and blacks use different facilities. Obviously, that contradicts God's word and goes against everything he stands for (his love for all people) so any person who went against that law, Rosa Parks for example is actually doing whats right in Gods eyes, even if it was against the law at the time
