I believe that we are supposed to obey the rulers, since God
has put them into power, (or at least *allowed* them to be in
power) so long as the rules they make don't conflict with God's
rules.

So laws that say "pass on the right", "build your house 'x'
feet back from the property line", and so on are to be obeyed.
But rules like "work seven days a week", "do not read the Bible",
and so on, are in direct conflict with the rules of God, and are
not to be obeyed.

Obviously one should be very sure that one *is* doing the right
thing when going against a government. Not something to be
taken lightly. (The gov't certainly won't!!)
