Seems like a contradiction in terms to me.
How do you reject authority and stil maintain there is
an "ultimate" authority and be considered consistent?
That fundamental contradiction is really the basis for this thread.
Of course, there are important and subtle
considerations to this question which make it more difficult to understand.

Basically, my pointy was that a truly scientific, atheist thinker should be open to the essentials of anarchist thought. Obviously, a true-blue anarchist would question the idea that "Jesus is the ultimate authority," as would any atheist worthy of the name.
