I do believe we should respect authority. However just as Dietrich Bonhoeffer rejected the evils of the Nazi party, we too as Christians have the responsibility to reject evil in all its forms. We must pray for wisdom and and a spirit of discernment to be able to tell good from evil.
Any one who does not respect authority needs to get the punishment of the authority that governs them.
