I am bothered anytime this issue surfaces. This is because, almost every religion preaches peace, love and kindness or generosity at every point in time. For instance, imagine a situation where a person with a good religious background coming across a beggar who needs help badly but finds himself at a place where the laws of the land forbid the beggar from being there.
If it were you, will you give alms to this beggar for the sake of faith and your religious background or by-pass the helpless beggar who finds himself at a place forbidden by law?
I am sure most people would love to help the beggar but helping him by giving alms would encourage him to remain at this prohibited area.In doing so, different thoughts will be running through your head as far as taking any of the above actions is concerned.
So should faith override law?
