By their bogus form of religion, the priests were teaching the people to have more fealty, honor and reverence for the civil authorities than they had for the Lord Himself – from whom the civil authorities derive their authority. And so the churchmen in our day have taught Americans the same thing – they have taught the people to have more fealty, honor, and reverence for human civil authority than for the Lord Himself. When you speak of the doctrine of the lesser magistrates, the worthless churchmen say "Oh, you don't respect authority." No - it's precisely the fact that we do respect authority that we understand the abuse of authority must be confronted. You must understand – without a valid doctrine of authority, order will not stand in society. We now live in a lawless state. 37 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com

The monolithic centralized state views the decentralized family – as a threat. Therefore the state wants to control and subjugate the family to the state through law and policy and court opinion. This is a huge tenant of Marxism which views the family to be a major pillar of bourgeois society. To them - family must be subjugated by the state. The family is an institution ordained by God and is not to be controlled by the state. Family is its own government separate from the state – and in fact – civil government is an extension of family government. And men have a duty to protect their homes from the attacks and invasions of the state into their domestic affairs.
