Anarchy and Religion
A CONFERENCE of German anarchists convened in Leipsic on June 2. The antagonism of that organization toward religion was shown in a resolution adopted by the conference on that date. That resolution declared that membership in any church or religious sect was incompatible with the principles of anarchy, and all members of the organization who had not already done so, were ordered to withdraw from the churches. Anarchy, which means antagonism to law, has, in that resolution, taken a consistent position; for Christianity stands for obedience to the highest of all laws, the law of God. The one represents the purpose of Satan carried to its ultimate; the other represents the purpose of Jesus Christ carried to its ultimate. The two never have coalesced, and never can.
