Yes, and I'd say anyone can be. There should be no link between government and religion in the ideal world, but will you anger God by rocking the boat ? Is that the question ?

Interesting, politically yes, spiritually no. I imagine spiritual anarchy means following no religion.
Political anarchy just means not having a rigid system of governance.

Was Jesus an anarchist? It seems that he had as little as possible to do with the powers of the day, although he remained within the law.

he also changed certainlaws of the day...i think he was one of the bigest anarchists of all time....in his sermon he stated The Kingdom of God is within you....not the church...massive change there...to bad most christians did't follow that

We already have one who came in his own co-equal and co-eternal name, why shall we look for another?

i believe so

Anarchy isn't chaos, it's not even willful breaking of laws...it's about freedom and not letting anyone take even the smallest freedom away


within the state, there can be no freedom. when there isw freedom, there can be no state
