Paul commanded us to obey the ruling authorities because they were installed by God. Back in the day, if the Founders had taken Romans 13:1-7 at face value, we wouldn't have had a Republic to lose. Biblefags will respond that you need the Holy Spirit to read this passage with discernment in relation to many other passages. But whenever I ask them to elaborate, they merely scoff and tell me to enjoy my fate in Hell.
If you take Paul seriously, and if you believe the Bible to be inerrant, then you have to submit to the demonic crazies running this insane asylum.
