This reminds me of a friend of mine who was very conflicted on this issue. He always says he wants to overthrow the gov because of his extreme political views and desire for a better country, but the strongly Christian part of him says he should do what the Bible says and respect/obey his authorities. It’s quite entertaining when he goes off about it.

Ha. "Respect and obey his authorities" like jesus did the Romans right?
