It is permissible and even good/necessary to transgress social boundaries and norms in some cases.
We don't agree with this claim because when do we go against social norms or when do we go against Gods law. For example society says we shouldn't steal, but also God says we should love on another. So this seems to be at least contradictory.

If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

-
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.
Once again St. Paul discusses both groups of people. This can be translated as Christians and nonchristains today
-
it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Christ and salvation are not for the separate few or just the Jews, but for everyone. This I think is hard for some people to understand.

“god” is best defined as that which is ultimately holy, or as Paul Tillich put it, the matter of ultimate concern
good definition of what Jack considers "god" to mean
-
God is love and love is god.
I don't know if its a typo or on purpose but why is the second god in the sentence not capitalized. Is it referencing something like the greek gods, like the idea of a god?
-
You’re saying that theism and atheism can’t be understood as standing in a contradictory relationship because theism is a term which is too complicated, so one can’t simply declare one is opposed to all things that have been called “theism”?
good summary of the argument
-
one cannot be rationally committed to a contradiction. So, he must either commit to one and give up the other or explain how he isn’t trapped in a contradiction.
I guess I'm confused about how one cannot rationally commit a contradiction.

You might also recall that we turned him down because the group was going to be illegally distributing clean needles to drug users along with overdose-reversal medication that is difficult to obtain.
Moral question of should we give a junkie a clean needle in order that we might save a life, but also they are breaking the law and might overdose.

Piety or holiness, Socrates, appears to me to be that part of justice which attends to the gods, as there is the other part of justice which attends to men.
Another little answer to the overarching question.
-
hen the same things are hated by the gods and loved by the gods, and are both hateful and dear to them
So how can someone be pious to a God if they are being unpios to another by performing the same act. Same idea of you can't please everyone

Piety is doing as I am doing; that is to say, prosecuting any one who is guilty of murder, sacrilege, or of any similar crime—whether he be your father or mother, or whoever he may be—that makes no difference; and not to prosecute them is impiety.
Classic Plato writing giving us a definition right off the bat and then Socrates arguing about it

He thinks that you are a neologian, and he is going to have you up before the court for this. He knows that such a charge is readily received by the world, as I myself know too well; for when I speak in the assembly about divine things, and foretell the future to them, they laugh at me and think me a madman
What is a Neologian. Also Euthyphro has an interesting view on what it means to go against the grains of society
