Eulogy for the COVID Kapos
by Margaret Anna Alice
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people that they will have a chance of maltreating someone. Men must be bribed to build up and do good by the offer of an opportunity to hurt and pull down. To be able to destroy with a good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’—this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
―Aldous Huxley, Introduction (July 24, 1933) to Samuel Butler’s Erewhon, Easton Press (1934)

You mocked us.
You blocked us.
You wished for our deaths.

You shamed us.
You blamed us.
You called for our jailing.

You banned us.
You canned us.
You cut off our funds.

You believed.
You decreed.
You complied.
You denied.

You feared.
You sneered.
You cowered.
You lied.

You followed the leader.
You chanted the slogans.

You balked at our questions.
You scoffed at our research.

You thought you were smarter.
You felt you were safer.
You knew you were holier.
You said you were better.

Now you’re starting to wonder.
Now you’re starting to doubt.
Now you’re starting to remember.
Now you’re regretting.

You can’t undo what you’ve done to yourself.
You can’t undo what you’ve done to your loved ones.
You can’t undo what you’ve done to us.
You can’t undo what you’ve done to the world.

And now you want a mulligan.
Now you want to forget.
Now you want us to forget.

Even though it’s still happening.
Even though we’re still suffering.
Even though they’re still murdering.

It will never end without acknowledgment.
It will never end without accountability.
It will never end without remorse.
It will never end without justice.

So make your apologies,
and we may listen.
Make your amends,
and we may forgive.
Make your peace,
and we may accept.

Or not.

It all depends
on you.

Your sincerity.
Your willingness to take responsibility.
Your ability to name your wrongs.
Your actions to rectify what’s been done—
what they’ve done,
what you’ve done,
what they’re trying to do.

How do you know you won’t fall for the next one?
How do you know you won’t line up for more?
How do you know you won’t crumble again?

Who were you then?
Who are you now?
Who will you become?
Why should we trust you?

Can you see it?
Can you say it?
Can you feel it?
Will you stop it?

What is Biblical Anarchy?

What does the Bible teach us about governance, authority and human relationships? What is Anarchy? Is it violent revolutionaries or radical pacifism? In this pilot episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, we dive into these topics and set the stage for what this podcast's focus and goal will be, and I make an opening argument for why following the Bible consistently leads us to reject the State and kingdoms of men in favor of a system of decentralized governance that promotes Christian virtues of social cooperation, peace, and true justice.

The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

The Core Values of a Libertarian Christian

Doug Stuart discusses the enduring relevance of the five Core Values of a libertarian Christian. Doug delves into the first core value, emphasizing the role of Christian political philosophy in shaping a holistic view of scripture, reason, and historical theology. He scrutinizes the current political climate and the debate around Christian influence in politics, firmly highlighting the need to maintain the distinction between the kingdom of God and the state. He explores the importance of separating Christian values from nationalist ideologies, with an emphasis on the nonaggression principle and the compatibility of individual liberty with the common good. Doug provides a thought-provoking analysis of how Christian theology supports free market economics and values cooperation and service, encouraging listeners to engage further with these crucial topics in the libertarian Christian discourse.
