Floyd, my dear chap,Thanks for the kind note.
: I suspect that if you looked more closely at the principles of anarchism, you might come to appreciate its subtlety. You have stated many times that you do not feel comfortable bowing to human authority, and prefer your life to be ruled by your personal relationship with your diety. That is a classic anarchist sentiment, Robert. You may already be an anarchist, and just don't realize it! Although most modern anarchists are not particularly religious, the two sentiments have been effectively combined in the past. I'll get you some references if you express an interest. Rejecting the right of some human to tell you how you can or can not conduct your life is an act of pure anarchism. If you justify that choice on religious grounds, rather than scientific or ethical grounds, so what, IMHO, you're an anarchist nevertheless.
: You mentioned that you weren't sure you understood the philosophy behind anarchism. I hope this helps to clarify things for you.
Even though I do not agree with the rather bitter atheistic parts, perhaps you are right here. Living in Christ is a bit contrary to the world. Thanks for the clarity and God Bless. If and when I come to America, I owe you lunch.
Robert
