I suppose it's just the difference in perspective, then. The way I see it, if we are to obey the government, that makes government, or at the very least obeying it, an inherent good.
I guess I just felt like commenting since I know that a lot of people on here are Christian, though they then turn around and subscribe to what seems like a vehemently anti-government position. And fair enough, our government sucks so bad that it's not unreasonable to start to just hate the mere concept of anyone telling you what to do. It's an extreme reaction to an extreme situation, which is certainly valid.
And really, this isn't like some imperfect Christian led government trying to do their best. Why should we listen to people who literally worship Satan? So on the one hand, I agree with a lot of what people say, but on the other hand, I also want to adhere to God's will which seems pretty unwavering on the subject of authority.
That's my entire point in a nutshell.
