Well authoritarian gov'ts don't typically do well for anyone, but my world view would not changed. I would obey (to the best of my rebellious tendencies) every law that does not conflict with what is a higher law. Keep in mind that i believe this physical existence is only a piece of the whole me. I value life, but death is not the end.

The type of government doesn't matter. Look at history. We see people of faith in every culture, every tongue, and of every color. My worldview beckons me to subscribe to a greater rule of authority, and never does it promise me that this is simple. In fact it tells me the opposite. People died in Nazi Germany because they would not conform, some die in China because they will not conform, Christians were slaughtered in Rome for sport because they would not renounce their faith. People on this very forum have taken on assaults and ridicule just for saying they believe and their faith is in Christ. Why would I expect differently from the rest of the world? I don't.

Do you think democracies are better?
