I see the use of force as the primary evil which men commit against one another, and it is most heinous when the law is perverted to permit this use of force by some on others. I believe that unregenerate humans only perform charity out of guilt or via the direct manipulation of God. Therefore, regenerate humans are the only ones who can be held responsible for practicing charity. Thus, care for the least of these is the full and exclusive responsibility of the church.

This might suffice as my "paragraph": Releasing all aspects of individuality which I might claim as my own or as my "self", I'm left with nothing, and find only the presence of the Divine, nothing else, in existence. Life is then only wonder, and gratitude. Steve,

As I try to think of my own response, I realize that it feels like a pretty big order to lay out my world view in a paragraph or two. It takes a bit more energy then the average comment. This may be what's holding people back. As for me, I think my <a href="http://young.anabaptistradicals.org/2008/01/19/nonconformity-to-the-powers/" rel="nofollow">Nonconformity to the Powers</a> sums up a good chunk of my world view, though probably not everything. Steve,
