I truly understand the disgust with the present government. However, that doesn't call for rebellion against EVERY government function like I'm beginning to see.

Actually, I think that the disgust for government began long before Obama, but has now reached a point where most people can no longer deny that our federal and many state governments have gone rogue. The census is just one example of the overbearing nature of our government.

As far as the Biblical passages go, I'm not a Biblical scholar, but if we were to take those passages literally and as the whole of our political philosophy, we might as well chuck out the Constitution right now, along with the notion of government by the people. In fact, if we take those passages as being our only guide, we should just bow down to whichever dictator gets himself in office. That, however, is not the American way and the Founders were men who knew the Bible very well. Their view was that there were certain rights granted by God to the people, and the only legitimate government would be one that did not attempt to violate those rights. As long as the governing authority respected God's way, it was legitimate. If it rejected God and His way, it was illegitimate, making it the duty of all God-fearing people to resist it. Well, is it your opinion that this government is with God, or against Him?

This government has completely rejected God and is going to pay the price. Unfortunately, seems like the majority of the nation has also rejected God and is subject to the same consequences. We have the kind of government the majority deserve...they brought it on themselves by CHOICE.
