Peace Blend | Peace Blend: Pacifism and defence of Justice
| Respond to this post |
Hi! I was just wondering about what Mennonites believe on the subject of WW11. I read some of the Peace Blend stuff, but it didn't seem to have anything directly dealing with the issue of whether it was important to stop Hitler. I really like the idea of pacifism, and am tempted to just be a pacifist without finding out more, but it's more reasonable to hear exactly what it is first. So, with the Hitler thing: I think it was important to stop him. But I don't like the idea of war. the practice of appeasement didn't work. So what do people who know more about this than me say?
Also, what about violence, without killing, when one is attacked? If someone is trying to rape a woman, doesn't she have the right to fight her attacker? I dont' agree with killing the attacker, even if he's trying to shoot the victim, if the victim is a Christian. For non-Christians the threat of death is far worse. I can't say what'd be right for them.
