I agree with nigel, this would be quite the place to live. How do they cope with people who oppose on the lifestyle? If they were to be threatened or terrorized?
I'll be covering that in 2 ways:
dang, guess you kind got me hooked haha
i'll follow and check out the next couple parts, sounds like an interesting topic
yo hermes!
what does "20 ' male" mean?
...are you saying your 20 feet tall?
Ahh, you got me there. I guess i'm technically a 20 foot tall male country, didn't feel like using slashes but i'll change it just cause of this haha. Really meant 20/Male/Canada...
Of coarse.....of all people I would expect Hermes @trismegistuz to overstand the law of cause and effect.
haha.
@trismegistuz
This would be a wonderful society, @kennyskitchen
Is there a role for God in an anarchist's world?
The simple answer is, if someone wants it to, and it doesn't involve forcing anything on someone else, then yes. The word has a wide variety of meanings to different people, and the only problem is when people decide to take their beliefs and start using them as an excuse for violence.
Thank you, @kennyskitchen
By your defintion, then even as a Christian, I too am an anarchist then.
Jesus was certainly an anarchist, at least that has been my understanding from reading of the Christian texts. Anarchy/voluntaryism is simply the idea that each human is a sovereign being, and no other has the right to use violence against, or steal from, them.
Some examples:
Judges 17.6:
Galatians 5.13:
Acts 5:29:.
Ephesians 6.12:
Matthew 7.12:
For a bit more reading:

Thank you, @kennyskitchen
"obey God"
At a usa rainbow gathering Jesus Camp is popular, and the Krishnas always have a camp.
Pepe!
That was really goid. I can't wait for the next part.
Thanks @mranderson! I plan on releasing all 5 parts this week, so stay tuned :-)
i am reminded of a quote by Aleister Crowley... "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, love is the law, Love under will" . Thelemites and anarchist are not too far off from each other in a broad sense.
Oh ya. Certainly most of the the Thelemites I've known are anarchists as well. I used to go to mass at the OTO temple in Portland before I started traveling, tons of amazing people :-)
i would love to travel but unfortunately i do not have the means to travel. i have never even been out of michigan.
The means to travel? You mean a physical body? I quit my job, gave away my belongings, and left Portland with $200 in my pocket to head to the Rainbow Gathering in South Dakota, June of 2015, and I've been on the road since. I'm in Acapulco, Mexico right now :-)
The Ying Yang of it all.
If the world wasn't so chaotic mankind wouldn't recognize a change was needed.
You dang hippies get off my lawn.
This sounds like a great community of humans thanks for sharing upped.
Some of the most amazing people I've ever met for sure, and the biggest catalyst for people to change themselves. Thanks for your support!
Awesome. Steemit is pretty much the internet version of a gathering. Glad to see the two meeting more formally.
