The reason so many people respond to the idea of a stateless society (anarchy) with insults, apocalyptic predictions and emotional tantrums, rather than with calm reasoning, is because their belief in government is not the result of careful, rational consideration of evidence and logic. It is, in every way, a religious faith, believed only because of prolonged indoctrination. And there is almost nothing which state-worshippers find more existentially terrifying than contemplating the possibility that government - their savior and protector, teacher and master - does not actually exist, and never did.
