I seem to have this pathology that I can't soil pretty things. It is kinda like getting a new journal to write in and not being able to because I am afraid of "messing" it up with writing. So thus with this blog. I know the stupidity of that - but nonetheless I find myself not blogging because of the same reason. So I decided to blog anyway...

Yesterday I was discussing a topic with some youth that I spend time with - we were talking about the redeem-ability of certain types of music. They believed (like most today) that there is no form of music that cannot be redeemed for the Kingdom of God. Whereas I agree with them on the surface, (most forms that I believe cannot be redeemed have more to do with personal taste than true "irredeemability" (is that a word?)) I challenged them to think about what they said on other levels.
1) All things are inherently redeemable.
2) Then all music is redeemable.
3) Therefore other things must be redeemable as well such as specific forms of government, etc.

When I brought up to them on the basis of their argument that communism and socialism, under their argument, must be redeemable, they kinda shirked a little. I told them that if this is true than the problem with all things whether music or socialism or even capitalism is that without Christ in the center it has the potential to become corrupt.

Is it possible for there to be a communist form of government that is redeemable? Socialist? Even anarchy? What do you think?
