if religion was made illegal would you still worship even though your breaking the law?

Question

do you believe break the law is a sin

Answer 1

Even as an atheist I wouldn't support this hypothetical law and restriction on my freedom to believe (even if I don't). I would definately help whatever resistance formed, and I'm absolutely sure one would form.

Answer 2

yes I would break the law and continue worshipping GOD if religion was outlawed. As for whether it's a sin to break the law. Of course it is a sin to break the law of the land Romans 13. But when the law of man is standing against the Law of GOD... I'd rather be in GOD's camp. Wouldn't you?

Answer 3

Yes, I would. I believe religion is a private and personal matter. Nobody has the right to deprive anyone of that. Is breaking the law a sin? In this context, it is not. The law should always remain secular and general towards the populace.

Answer 4

Im not really very faithful with my religion, but I think I can say that yes, people will still worship. Remember, I few centuries after the death of Christ, Christianity was illegal. They fed Christians to the lions. i think that would be even more scarier than any kind of prosecution to day. But Christianity survived. Also, some beliefs are considered illegal in other countries. Fa lun gong believers are prosecuted and used to be tortured in China. But a lot of followers still practise it.

Answer 5

Yes. Because no one has the right to tell me what I can or cannot believe in. Heck it has happened in the past when the CHURCH trried to outlaw the Pagan religions: But as we know they failed and the Pagan religion survives to this day.

***I'm sorry Preachers Wife but the is nothing wrong with take organized prayer out of public schoold. the only alternative (to grant equal rights) would be to have a time of prayer for each and every religion that might be at that school and by the time prayers are do school will be out.

Answer 6

Yes I would still worship. Secular law won't stop religion from being practiced just merely drive it underground. History has already proven that.

Answer 7

Look at the Soviet Union, and China. Where have their satellite nations gone? They tried to outlaw religion, and replace it with dialectical materialism (look that up). Now Russia is surrounded by religious zealots, with nuclear bombs! How long will Cuba remain Communist, after Castro? Not long, I suspect. I'll bet there is a boat full of priests, waiting to redeem the island.

Answer 8

hell no!
plus, one needs to remember that when it comes to religious matters, the law doesn't stand as criteria. for example, there are states where homosexuality is freely allowed, and there are also countries like the Netherlands where marijuana is allowed as well. both homosexuality and marijuana are forbidden in my religion (i am muslim). does this mean that because the law allows these things that i will indulge in it if i were to live there? hell no! when in rome, a Muslim never does as romans do, because romans dunno what they're doing at the first place.
so if my religion was made illegal, i would hopefully stick to it even more!

Answer 9

absolutely. laws mean nothing to me when put up against my religion. people speed every day and that's breaking the law. that said, i would hope they would break the law in order to worship their own God.

Answer 10

The Bible says Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and unto God what is God. But, it also said that we must obey God rather than men. ( Acts 5:29)

These verses simply mean that we follow human laws only to the extent that they do not violate God's laws. A noted jurist once said that human laws are invalid/ void if they violate God's laws.
