About Pentecostals being pacifist - most are not, though I know a number that I believe are. The AOF "conscientious objector" statement in regards to bearing arms allows for this in the UPCI, if the individual is so compelled. I have read some history on this, and believe the number was significant at one time and some were imprisoned in the USA for this. My Father, an Old Order Mennonite, served as a Conscientious Objector in a non military Government hospital during the time of the Korean War.

someone who doesnt like violence is peaceful mother theresa and ghandi et al

Seems like a different dispensation? We're under Grace now? Who would Jesus shoot? That is who you are supposed to shoot, mmmkay?

I know this sounds weird,
but aside from staying informed,
I could care less about him.
I pray for him, as our leader,
I obey the laws...I'm mildly curious
how much the movie cost me, personally,
but other than that, our spheres, his nation
and the Kingdom I serve, rarely intersect.

This might be hard to read;
I love(d) my country, but
I'm not even a little surprised at
what it has become, or what will happen next.
History is replete with examples,
and there is truly nothing new
under the sun.

You say I don't know him,
but I was there, on inauguration day,
when he dismissed the cabinet that got him elected
(tyvm! see ya!), and moved Goldman Sachs
into the White House, to nary a peep.
Frankly, he is not the one who scares me.
