Why you should become a Bible-believing anarchist
who also believes the universe was created around 4004 B.C.
Advocating anarcho-creationism as an actual blueprint or goal for human society is sometimes dismissed with the charge of "Utopia!"

- This is what John Adams, later second President of the U.S., wrote in his diary on February 22, 1756:
Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience,
• to temperance, frugality, and industry,
• to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and
• to piety, love and reverence towards Almighty God.
What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be.Like others of his day, Adams was a theonomist!
Some people say "utopia" is impossible. They say the English word comes from two Greek words, "ou" meaning "not," and "topos" meaning "land" or "place" (as in "topographic map"). But the author usually given credit for inventing the word "utopia," Thomas More, said that his term was derived from the Greek eu-, "good," not ou-, "not" -- a "good place," not a place that does not or cannot exist:
“Wherfore not Utopie, but rather rightely my name is Eutopie, a place of felicitie.”
More’s Utopia: The English Translation thereof by Raphe Robynson, printed from the second edition, 1556 page 171
The Bible describes paradise as a good place.
