Thanks for sharing your personal view, but the truth is that any person who violates laws is a criminal.

criminal - someone who has committed a crime

As usual you love to deflect, pass judgement and hurl insults! I guess since you're so perfect, you've never broken the law, such as...oh... I don't know... speeding? If you have then that makes YOU a criminal as well!

I was a DJ for many years. You don't have to tell me something that I don't already know.

This seems to be very confusing for some people. In Seattle, possession is not a crime, but it is a crime in most places in US. You can call laws "gestapo" laws, because you don't like them, but a law abiding citizen will abide by laws even if they do not agree with them, while criminals will not abide. That is the difference between a law abiding citizen and a criminal.

Some people here willfully and habitually violate the law, and then they are offended when people call them for what they are: law breakers aka criminals.

Should I be allowed to cheat on my taxes because I think they are too high?

The people who don't question ANY laws no matter how bad or immoral they may be would have been the same ones who would have been on board yelling "crucify Him!" Hey... the law is the law, right?.......
Once again, I support legalization but these type's of arguments befuddle me. You do the very same thing. Do you support the idea of ending all laws? Nearly any law you support is thought to be a stupid law by someone else. Does that make you a so-called Christian?

I stated a perfectly legitimate concern I have. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Finn never said that he doesn't question any law.

The way to get your way here is not to offend people but rather convince them you are right. These type of arguments are counter productive.

This also.....just because someone may have broken a law does not make breaking a law something people should accept. Yes, I've went over the speed limit but because I have doesn't mean I should support getting rid of speed limits.

Yes, speeding makes me a criminal also. I don't see what the big deal in admitting that is.

And what you fail to see is that there are bad laws, and sometimes you have to call bull*** on them! So there is no confusion. Hey, the Germans abided by Hitler and Nazi laws, and we all saw how that ended for them! Those "law abiding" German citizens were such good sheep and followed the law to the tune of the Nazis committing mass genocide of some 12 million people. But hey, the law is the law, right? Laws written by men aren't prone to flaws? Naw, that couldn't be it!!! It's the written word, and therefore it must be right!
