What is Tolstoy's central idea about the Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God, as I understand it through Christ's teachings, is not a future realm but a present reality attainable through adherence to God's law. This law is love, expressed as nonresistance to evil by force. It means living in accordance with the spirit of Christ, which is reason and love, and rejecting all forms of violence, coercion, and outward authority that contradict this inner divine light.
