Theism means believing in a non-metaphorical 'god', or anything 'supernatural'. To be really specific, it means people proclaiming their belief in things that they cannot define.

You yourself do not hold such religious beliefs, and therefore you don't call yourself a theist.

Now, my question is: do you think that it's bad to treat people in a way that results in them having religious beliefs. An example of such would be a parent telling their children a mythological story, and then expecting them to state that they believe it. The mythological stories are presented as historical fact; even though the stories contain loads of mythological symbols and to any sane mind would clearly be identified as metaphor and not fact (god created the earth in seven... etc, etc).





What problems do you see with an 'AC system'? Anarchism means nothing more than the idea that people should act on a voluntary basis and not on a coercive basis. Do you see any problems with that? And if so, why. Anarchocapitalism has a little added idea on top of that that we expect voluntary solutions to arise for arbitration and security. But it's doesn't design anything; it's merely a prediction.
