That's my current inclination, although I could be persuaded differently.

Good thing I waited....I was gonna offer you five bucks.

44 pages and 25,000 words... that's gotta require one heck of a big ZOT!

I scanned the article, and found the keyword I was looking for. "Hitler". Once an article uses Hitler, Nazi's or National Socialism to make a point I quit reading it and forget the whole thing. Why? Because Nazism has become an intellectual "black box", an optimum launching pad for any ex cathedra statement the author wants to make. Any loathsome act, belief or policy can be attributed to the Nazis, and nobody will dare to say if it is not true.

For example, one could claim "Hitler ate Jewish babies brains for breakfast", and everyone would just say "yes, those Nazis were sure evil". But if someone were to say "that seems wrong to me, as I understand it Hitler was a vegetarian" then everyone will attack this person as being a Nazi for daring to defend Hitler. See how it works?

As a result, I quickly scan all articles for the keywords "Hitler", "Nazi", and "National Socialism". Once I find those words, I discard the article. I am sick of lazy thinkers using Hitler to sell their snake oil.

I don't have the time right now to read the whole thing, but I note this statement:

Above I also stated that Jesus's commandment of the Golden Rule not only proves that He is an anarchist, but also necessarily a libertarian, or free market, anarchist to be specific.

So this doesn't appear to be the left-wing type of anarchism, but the right-wing, pro-free market, anarcho-capitalist type.

As much as I adore the Viking Kitties, this may have been a bit quick on the Zot. At least, I suspect indymedia and other left-wing sites wouldn't be enamored of it, either.

A Zot gets you banned or suspended? Hmmm... I wonder if he will lurk and read how his thread transpires, and if he will be pleased with the results?

It is an offensive ideology, and letting people see it for what it is just might have a benefit.

IMHO it is simply too lengthy for most people to grasp, their eyes will glaze over first.
Still, it is a good example of someone with waaaaaaay too much free time on their hands.
One wonders how they can even compose such drivel without putting themselves to sleep.

Anarchism is not welcome here. Period.

Extremely poor philosophy, laughably poor politics, woefully poor Christianity.

This is simply the self-government thing taken to its logical, er, illogical conclusion. This delusional individual doesn't understand, nor do dyed-inthe-wool Libertarians, that a train is only free to go where it needs to go as long as it runs on a track. To be free of the restraint placed upon it would cause its certain destruction. Libertines and anarchists would have that train break "free" and thus crash and burn.

Jesus Christ was not an anarchist. He was a theocrat, himself being the Deity. His followers are to live before Him as in theocracy, and before their fellow human beings in submission to government insofar as that government does not conflict with the theocracy.

This writer's take on the Golden Rule reminds me of Wiccans whose guiding principle is "An' it harm none, do as ye will" which sounds great at first until you begin to ask, how do I know that what I will is not going to harm someone? Define "harm"? Then you realize how absurd is the whole concept of everyone just making it up as they go, doing whatever is "right for them". The Book of Judges is the OT is a good example: "And everyone did that which was right in his own eyes" and it, of all the books in the Bible, is filled with the most viciousness and cruelty.

This article is long-winded, and some of the logic is flawed, IMO, but there are many good thoughts presented in it. The person who wrote this article is not a blind, shallow parrot, and that is rare and refreshing.

Why are we so afraid of certain words? Stop "thinking" so emotionally.

I respectfully disagree with the decision to Zot this person. It's not like he was pushing Demopuke philosophy or an article praising Hillary. He posted an article on religion for discussion. We then have an opportunity to see what unusual opinions there are floating in the stratosphere, and respond accordingly.

The Lord Jesus Christ inspires strong opinions, doesn't He ?! (smile)
