You are taking Romans 13 and making it your entire argument.

Christ himself was silent on at least one occassion I can think of when civil authorities demanded him to answer them.

The early Christians DID NOT OBEY THE CIVIL AUTHORITY, but refused to worship the govt. and thus were killed.

The early Christians DID NOT OBEY THE CIVIL AUTHORITY, but refused to worship the govt. and thus were killed.

That was the only exception that I have mentioned numerous times already.

Obviously, you conceded the argument when you have to bring up the exception instead of the rule.

The rule is: Christians must obey the secular authorities, even when the authorities are anti-Christian, unfair, brutal and tyrannical.

The exception is: Christians must disobey the secular authorities when commanded to stop observing their religion.

There is nothing in the Christian religion that calls for a stone representing the Ten Commandments to be placed in a public workplace.

If anything, the fact the people are kneeling and praying in front of this stone reminds me of idolatry, a big Christian no-no.
