Pacifist

[ImThankful]

Can anyone tell me exactly what a pacifist is? Did I even spell it right ? I know Amish are considered pacifist. Is that what us apostolics are considered?

Ha. 99.99999% of Apostolics are NOT Pacifists.


pacifism [ pas-uh-fiz-uh���m ] noun
1. opposition to war or violence of any kind.

2. refusal to engage in military activity because of one's principles or beliefs.

3. the principle or policy that all differences among nations should be adjusted without recourse to war.

4. One who enjoys the privileges and rights of our country but believes themselves above the methods that provided those privileges and rights...

So a pacifist is someone that does not believe in stealing land from Indians through violence?

touche'. Just for the record, I'd be the first one at the recruiting office to volunteer, as a C.O.--I can scrub toilets--if the French ever invade.

This to me ignores that satan runs your country (every country),
and foments war just so that people will suffer and die.
Plus, frankly, the country was in much better shape before "we" showed up.

Seems to me God commanded wars too, when He was in charge of a country.
