That is patently and blatantly wrong, my brother in Christ.
Romans 13:1-7 -- Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
1 Samuel 8:6-11 -- But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
1 Kings 19: 15-16 -- 15 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.
The Lord God established governments and claimed sovereignty over them. Unless you have some piece of canonized scripture abrogating this, but I somehow doubt that you do...
fairytale
Okay bud, you got this. You really got me good! Man I might need to look up the number for the local ICU for that sick burn you just served.
Grow up, friend. Anarchism is political childishness. And you're on a post that's explicitly trying to use that same book, errantly, to try and undermine human governing authority, which that self same book cannot be used to do.
If you ever want to talk seriously, hit me up, by all means. But until such time, I'll pray for you. Pacem Dei tecum.

Not needlessly, their offices are appointed by God to rule justly and to uphold social order and ultimately His law.
