The more I read about Christian anarchy, the more I tend to identify with it. First, all the governments, parties, movements, and "archys" of this world are fallen bestial systems wherein one fallen human being seeks to control another under threat of harm or death. And second, the rightwing Christian Reconstructionist vision presents itself as nothing but more of the same, but in a religious form as defined by men (men yet again) such as Rushdoony.
The only true "kingdom of God" is one ruled directly by Christ in the human heart. And that is a kingdom void of any earthly "archy". It is a one man revolution whereby born again individuals reject, and denounce, the notion of any inherent sacred authority in this world and its systems, or any other human system for that matter.
With this perspective, the Christian Anarchist would argue that the only government more devilish than an "secular" one is... a "holy" one.
Christian Reconstructionists propose to create another earthly "archy" wherein they justify imposing their power and tyranny upon men in the very name of Jesus Christ. And so, Christian Reconstructionism is... blasphemy.
The Kingdom of God is within you, and within me. It is in our very midst. And it isn't contingent on any earthly system, condition, or circumstance.
