how does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? a just law is a manmade code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. i submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust is in reality expressing the highest respect for law. if today i lived in a communist country where certain principles dear to the christian faith are suppressed, i would openly advocate disobeying that country's anti-religious laws." that sounds like a statement from some far right wing christian tea party type, doesn't it? i'm sure that liberals who live to disparage evangelicals would think, that's the kind of thing i'd say. you know what, they'd have a field day shredding me for bringing god into the conversation at all. okay, they can calm down a bit. that statement wasn't mine. i do wish it was because i agree with it. but i didn't originate it. i'm just quoting verbatim the statement made by dr. martin luther king jr., who penned those words as part of h
