Hello, Vincent! Great to see new readers climbing into the older stuff in this Substack :-)

The God fully revealed by Jesus is clearly against monopoly-violence social control, and flattens the social-status hierarchies. I'd say anarchist fits well, albeit incompletely, as a description.

Very nice. I'm an atheist but greatly respect Jesus' teachings, and agree that they are consistent with (or perhaps inexorably woven with) anarchism.

Hello, Jdl! Thanks for finding my first post and sharing your perspective. I wrote the book 'Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen' hoping non-Christians or even non-theists could be included in the audience. I've tried to do the same with this Substack. I'm glad you found something valuable in this article!
