religious extremists are always arguing that they should have special treatment, whether it is about deciding abortion laws, deciding educational standards, even displaying religious commandments in public
Should gods law trump national law?
here is a view of what happens when religious law triumphs

God's law trumps man's law. Otherwise who gets to set the standard? You? Me? Without God's law civilization would have plunged into violence, chaos and anarchy long ago. Oh yea, we did that already, thats why He flooded the planet. Hmmm. I don't want special treatment because of the God I believe in. God's justice does not serve race, creed, or color. God's law isnt the same thing as man trying to impose his interpretation of God's law on others. God's law is always right, always just, whether you agree with Him or not. God's laws are eternal, man's are not. If I kill you, who can tell me I'm wrong in doing that? If I see a pretty in the store and decide I need it more then they do, why shouldn't I take it? Because God (Jehovah) wrote His laws on our hearts. You are stuck with God's laws whether you want to be or not. On the other hand, there are billions who serve false gods, and because they are false gods, then those so called god laws are not god's laws at all but man's laws in god's clothes. Big difference.

History is full of examples of why religious law should only apply to those who practice said religion. The more "faith-based" laws that pass, the closer we are to a spittin' image of Iran.

Ummm....no. In Christianity the Bible clearly states to "give unto Caeser what is Caeser's" and that is usually interpreted as following your ruling nation's laws no matter what. (However, most Christians forget or choose to ignore many of their core foundational beliefs.)

Gods law is just somebody's opinion of what the god that they imagine exists would want to happen. since nobody knows if god exists or if he or she does what form he or she would take or what they would want then "gods law" as invoked by these people has no validity at all
