Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in a video posted Tuesday that he believes people of faith should ignore laws that violate their religion.Rubio told the Christian Broadcasting Network that no law is "settled," making reference to Supreme Court decisions that legalized same-sex marriage.
“In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin — violate God’s law and sin — if we’re ordered to stop preaching the Gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that," Rubio said. "We cannot to abide by that because government is compelling us to sin."
“So when those two come into conflict, God’s rules always win,” he added.
Oops. Rubio apparently doesn't realize that he is making an argument for the religious law of other faiths in the United States — like sharia for Muslims, which Islamic fundamentalists also claim on the same grounds.
Or does Rubio believe that Christianity is the state religion of the United States.
