Then you will have to start your own poll to determine why you are on the internet. Every thread is not about you.

Actually, the argument is that anarchy will not last.

Neither will a small State. One is a rationally consistent and moral option.

Why is it "apparent?" Due to its prevalence and ubiquity?

Due to God and all that "King" talk and the complete lack of telling us not to have government.

Despite that whole listing in 1 Samuel?

Quoting that passage in favor of anarchy only works if one rips out all the other verses from the Bible where it is stated God gives power to kings.

Penciled One is correct. 1 Samuel 8 was a pretty explicit section: the most explicit, I think, in the whole Bible. It wasn't [i]at all[/i] supportive of God's Chosen People having a king. In fact, it scathingly [i]condemned[/i] their decision.

Didn't God give power to Satan, too?

The end does not justify the means.

Yes, He gave the power to kings, through the [i]consent[/i] of the people. The bible never said that God gave direct power to kings.

St. Cardinal Robert Bellarmine,
"It depends upon the [i]consent[/i] of the multitude to constitute over itself a king, consul, or other magistrate. This power is, indeed, from God, but vested in a particular ruler [i]by[/i] the counsel and election of men" ("De Laicis, c. 6, notes 4 and 5).
"The people themselves immediately and directly hold the political power" ("De Clericis," c. 7).
