Is it wrong to judge how people behaved in the past based on today's morals?

Laws can never be ignored, but they can be disobeyed.

For example, if a law banned my religion, I would have no reason to obey that law even if it were possible.

You just face the consequences of it.

I read somewhere once that there are three conditions to bear in mind before extreme measures are taken against onerous laws as perceived by civilians:

1. The objection must be an honest one

2. It must be shared by a majority

3. One is honestly prepared to face the consequences for one's convictions.
