"Romans 13:1 says: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

Really? You forgot that if people DO obey the government when it defies God's ways must face consequences. Just like when Hitler was in power, people readily obeyed Hilter's laws however the defied God's ways SO people rose up AGAINST the laws of man in order to serve God. In other words, not all man's laws are compatible with God's ways SO man must make a decision -

Obey God or obey man?

If they obey man, then there will be consequences by God. If they obey God, there will be consequences by man.

It was right to disobey Hilter, and over throw him even though it wasviolating Hitler's laws. If we were to take your advice and obey man, we'd be in worse trouble than we are already in. It's true that man's laws are more and more in opposition to Christianity, so your misguided philosophy is prevailing.

[Eccl 10:2]

Certainly it is the correct choice to disobey man's law when it is contradiction to God's law.

It's a stretch to say that a sign ordinance is in contradiction to God's law. To say nothing of what an obnoxious witness his sign is. I would rather he's have taken his money and quietly done some Godly work, without fighting for attention.
