RE: Christian Anarchist, Not a Contradiction

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

Upvoted. The only issue I have had with certain proponents of Christian Anarchism is in regard to the "infallibility of scripture" (one must deny logical inconsistencies to maintain that dried ink on pages can be objectively "perfect" and at the same time allow for slavery, or spanking, both of which violate the NAP).

Hi, @kafkanarchy84, nice to meet you here. I've read, upvoted an article of yours, and followed you because I want more... ;)

May we discuss your "only issue" just a bit? ;)

As a Christian Anarchist myself, I do believe in a (slightly qualified) version of "infallibility of scripture" but I don't require you to believe anything. You and I probably have more in common than I may with many of my Christian fellows. But I would love for you to understand this point.

Probably most importantly, the "spanking" issue... I don't know how old your son is, but Would you use physical force to prevent him from a fatal circumstance?

I don't view spanking as my "go-to" method of discipline for children and grandchildren, but each of us learn differently, and I do believe that there are circumstances and certain individuals where it is appropriate to use a small dose of otherwise harmless pain with pedagogic purpose.

Thanks for your comment here, and for a chance to say "hey." ;) I'm working on a series of articles about Christian Anarchy and agorism from my own experience, I invite you to "check 'em out." ;)
