"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.“

So any authority that simply claims it is established by God I must 'submit' to?

What about Islam? It also claims to be established by God. Must I submit to it also?

How do I know what specific authority God has established in this particular case? Where in the scripture does it say small time hoods must be persecuted by throwing grenades at their relatives?

Am I supposed to submit to that authority? Simply because you proclaim it to be 'divine' by your interpretation on an internet forum???
