My first thought in seeing this sign is how lightly and frivolously God is treated. How He is put to such a low level. It is blasphemous in the way it presents Him!
Psalm 103:19
" The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all"
God puts governments in authority over men in order to protect them. We should not fear governments. We have nothing to fear of them unless we are breaking the law.
Romans 13:1-7
"{1}Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. {2} Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. {3} For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. {4} For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. {5} Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. {6} For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. {7} Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor."
