Right gerry when they come to stick a bayonette in you, make sure you tell them you're a pacifist it'll ease your conscience during your passage, and I'll respect you for your ideals but not your common sence.
My anti-war sentiment does not include dying like a rabbit. I'll do and have done everything I can to avoid fighting but I will not surrender my life or my childrens to quiet pacifism in the face of certain death. Your own good book speaks to just that issue, does it not? Of course it does.
I have to say I'm with the beaver on that point. While I don't support war... if someone brings it to my doorstep despite my attempts, I'm going to fight.
and as long as there are those that can justify killing someone.....for any reason....... things will remain the same.
