You can only have a society like this if everybody, every single person, is living their life to be as much like Jesus as is humanly possible.

There are probably only a handful of people on the entire planet that are that dedicated, so no, it won't work.

Just the idea of freedom is frightening to some, I see. You’ll do fine under the New World Order policy when you must disrobe in silence before getting on an airplane.

Exactly. To think otherwise, is pure folly. Ignoring human nature never ends well.

These ideas are so simple and obvious that the average person,

You can only have a society like this if everybody, every single person, is living their life to be as much like Jesus as is humanly possible.

What should be obvious is what you said, insofar as the more one is controlled from within by Godliness then they need to be controlled from without. (But America engages in "God-control:" children are implicitly taught the state needs no help from a Creator, nor owes Him gratitude and obedience.)

However, when it comes to correct punctuation, i am somewhat an anarchist.

Correction: Insofar as the more one is controlled from within by Godliness then the LESS they need to be controlled from without.

Also, a society without overseers and a system of jurisprudence will result in communist subjugation. But even in a democratic republic who controls the government but the people by their votes. For while the Constitution should be the standard, this is interpreted by those who are elected. Thus a Christian influence on America works to provide wisdom in judging the character of men.

A nation (would there be “nations”?) valley, domain, county, state or whatever without any government would quickly descend into robber barons duking it out, with the biggest and baddest ones taking control.

IOW, dictators.

It’s human nature, libertarian dreams notwithstanding.
