Per the last post, there's Scripture to back that up. For starters,

Ecclesiastes 8:2

"I counsel thee to keep the King's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God."

Matthew 22:21 

"They say unto him, Caesar's.   Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. "

Roman's 13:3

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.  Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?  do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:"

There are more Scriptures,  but i godda git, bye :)
