I saw a tour bus pass through my intersection while I was sitting at a red light...well, actually the bus ran its red light and was generally being driven in the assholish manner more consonant with a BMW. Anyway, I eventually merged onto the same road and ended up behind the bus. There was a little sign on the back "Smile - God loves you."

It seems we also have cause to smile on account of the fact that god doesn't expect us to obey the civil authorities.

Thanks to Dr. McGoldrick that passage always brings to mind the thought that the American Revolution was singularly anti-christian. So much for the idea that the Founder's were god-fearing, bible-believing Christians, and that the United States is a nation founded on Christian principles.
