OK, let’s have a serious discussion. Over the next several weeks, as time allows, I will be posting several issues surrounding Just War theory (it’s history, etc.), which many Christians claim is a legitimate position. Now, I will be honest – I am a Christian pacifist. I wouldn’t be a pacifist if I was not a Christian, and I have a hard time seeing how someone could be a Christian and not be a pacifist. But I will state my position, hopefully somewhat convincingly in these upcoming posts, along with Just War positions.
Pacifism for me is not a political stance; it’s a Christian one. I fully considered the beliefs and ramifications of this position before I committed to it. And, unfortunately, I’ve taken a lot of heat from fellow Christians about it. But, that’s OK. So, if you don’t agree with me, great! Feel free to comment – it’s all about discussion! All I ask it that you allow yourself to read my position with an open mind… then, if you want to reject pacifism, do so! But listen to the arguments first.
