When I decided to write this blog, I did a bit of research on Christian Anarchism. Surprising stuff. The movement began with Leo Tolstoy, author of such books as War and Peace. He believed that the words of Y'shua (I prefer this name to the name Jesus) preached a world where men were brothers and all turned the other cheek. This lead him to a position of non-violence, pacifism, and social disobedience. His writings were instrumental in the thoughts of Mathama Ghandi and eventually Martin Luther King. His concepts framed the Civil Rights movement.
As admirable as I find that, I am not that kind of Christian Anarchist. I have my own views on social justice, government, politics and the like, but that is not what I am really talking about.
I am talking about anarchism against a much more invisible, insidious, and corrupt system than government. I am talking about the institutional church.
This blog will discuss my experience with the monstrous institution, the big business, we call the evangelical church. I will tell you about how my family, my faith, and much of my life has been damaged by this thing I call the World Religious System.
If you have been hurt by religion, if your family has been rejected by the church, if you have been forced to conform to a set of standards which are arbitrary and rigid, if in short you are one of the silent majority of christians who cries out in pain against the religious system of this world set up by Satan himself to cripple and immobilize the Christian faith, then watch this blog. I will be speaking out for you.
