Now that I have decided to avoid proselytising, for myself at any rate, being an anarchist I cannot speak for other anarchists, I have now to think about what I will be writing in my blog entitled Christian Anarchism.
It has been suggested that writing about my own experiences in dealing with life's problems might be a good idea, so I will begin there. Just today I went through a list of all the things I could remember doing which were naughty, bad and wrong, and the punishments I received. This brought me to accept why the whole concept of punishment, whether it be physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual is so abhorrent to me.
Now as a Christian Anarchist (I will stop using capital letters, it suggests that I am referring to a mainstream Christian denomination) I am adamantly against the physical chastisement of children, against physical violence of any sort, e.g. deliberately breaking a dinner plate in anger, for instance. Our world is too precious to deliberately hurt or even destroy the good things in it.
