ID: white text on a black background around a faded photo of a person with a black face scarf on and a hat that says “illegal” on it:

“But it’s illegal”

"Saying that something is illegal is not an argument, it is an appeal to authority. Laws are arbitrary dictates to control a population, not universal standards of morality.

    Back when Christianity was a protest movement they understood this too:

    Galatians 2:21

    " I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

    The problem is these people are just full of shit about everything all the time. The law is a very poor excuse for doing something, and if The law makes someone choose a different action then what they think is right, That’s literally just moral cowardice.
