Why Believe in God?
Reason #37
Governments. Where do they come from?
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.
- Romans 13:1 (NIV)
Why does man subject himself to the rule of other men? Who thought of that? We repress our selfish desires for a greater common good. Animals bow to the strong - man bows to the wise.
