The government tried to murder you? I have issues with the vaccine, but I do not equate a mayor, or a governor or a President with "the government". The ultimate authority in the US is the constitution, and there is nothing in the constitution that supports people trying to murder you.
I guess we differ in our definitions then. The constitution merely outlines how the government is supposed to govern - the government are the ones doing the governing. Similar to the laws outlining what the police are supposed to enforce, but the police are the ones who are to enforce it.
Government
The act or process of governing, especially the control and administration of public policy in a political unit.
The office, function, or authority of a governing individual or body.
Exercise of authority in a political unit; rule.
If a cop is bad, it doesn't mean all cops are bad or the institution of cops is bad. If a teacher is a pedophile it doesn't mean they all are, or even that schools are inherently evil. If a politician is a crook it doesn't mean they all are. As far as I am concerned that bad cop carries no more weight than a good cop and the good cops outweigh the bad cops, same with the teachers, and everyone else working for the government. I remember when the gays were fighting for political voice by claiming they represented 10% of the country. In fact they represented 1%. Satan is a liar and will always try to inflate his importance and influence.
I'm not sure about police, but reasonably sure about government (e.g. politicians, bureaucrats, etc.) There are more bad than good. And I wasn't necessarily speaking against the institution of government, although I believe that as power corrupts, it should therefore be limited. I was speaking about the present government, which did try to murder me and succeeded in murdering many others.
Even during the revolutionary war no one thought that the British government was trying to murder the American people. The fight was that they were being taxed and so felt they should be given a voice in the government as well.
I'm sure they did, because the British government did murder many Americans, as I understand. It might not have been their core motive, but it certainly was the result.
Tell that to God and the Old Testament. When they were invaded they had conscription.
I'm not sure that's true. Read God's rules of battle below. Those who had just married, or had built vineyards, or were fearful, didn't have to fight. And I'd have no qualms fighting in God's army. Note also there were spoils of war in those days for the soldiers - they could also take wives of the captives, and plunder etc. So there was also a benefit for the risk, and they were doing God's work. These days, all the risk is born by the soldiers, and all the profit goes to the corrupt ones in government. And as we are in the New Covenant, warfare amounts to little more than murder, at best.
The Israelites might have had corrupt kings which didn't adhere to this, but that gets back to the constitution vs. the government argument (i.e. God's scriptures - the law - verses evil or fallible kings).
Deut 20:1-9
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying,
What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say,
What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
