Hi, Mark!  Thanks for answering, really appreciated it!  :D

Well, in the beginning, considering the Bible, everything was chaos
and darkness and God used the Word and created the light and, with it,
the world.  In different religious texts around the world, there are
several references to the power of the words to create, manage and/or
destroy, so I would very cautious about using God and religion and/or
religious books to get a real anarchy.  Usually, religions are
powerful, used to manipulate people, Mark, and I don't like this idea,
even being favorable to get the complete anarchy.  You need choose to
be free, understanding really well what being free means.

Yesterday, I had a very hard discussion about Old and New Testaments
of the Bible, the contradictions, the lapses, with a very interesting
Spiritualist teacher, who follows Allan Kardec's teachings
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritism>.  I am discussing the
Spiritism with a little group of friends because we are getting
donations for the Christmas all the weekends since last month.  It's
fun and a bit bizarre because I am doing the same with my Catholic
friends, who hate the Spiritualists and, at least for me, to hate, to
be so intolerant of the people is a sooo anti-God's love thing, haha!!
 ;D

Well, I am trying hard to get food, clothes, toys, and medicines for
orphanages, nursing homes, and poor families, not because of any God
or religion, but because I think it's the correct thing to be done if
I want a world a little better.  I don't know if God really exists and
I am not doing it because it's the hypocrite celebration of Jesus'
birth, but because it should be the rule of a good government:  help
the people with the basic necessities.  Unfortunately, no government
is good.  :(((
