What do you think of a non-violent approach to life and faith?
I have been fascinated by how many people were so against war when Bush was in office but are strangely silent now that their candidate is the president (a note for the reader – I did not vote for Bush or Obama in the last election). It was an outrage for "peace" voters when G.W. pressed for continued military intrusion into other parts of the world, but now it is somehow justifiable. If it was outrageous then, what makes it different now? There is no difference in policy that I can see. I must admit, my own attitudes and thoughts about war are changing. I find myself more and more attracted to an Anabaptistic ethic. I seriously want to figure out how to be pro-life…completely pro-life. I don’t think I want to be involved in killing anybody – unborn babies or my enemy. I want to be counted among the peace-makers.
Here is a short video that I watched this morning that rattled me a bit. Got it from my local and blogging friend Eric Blauer. http://fcb4.tumblr.com/
