Well yes but you do say a lot of crap.
Are you talking proportionately?
Or total?
There are an awful lot of Christians around the world.
Also... do you have any evidence for this assertion at all or are you talking out your arse
again and just making stuff up to back up your love affair with the damn Amish and Hutterites?
(and now the Mennonites... do you just have a fetish for people with -ites in the name?)
Finally... Even if it were actually true (and you can demonstrate it) that there are more Christian
pacifists than secular pacifists... How is that in any way relevant to a discussion as to whether or
not the bible supports war or not?
That different people interpret the bible in different ways in different numbers isn't a valid argument
for any particular interpretation being right...
And secularists don't give a damn what it says because the words of peasant goat herders from 2000+
years ago are not relevant to us. (Other than caring what theists think it says and then use as a basis
for decisions)
And secularists being pacifists or not has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what the bible has
to say on the subject.
So did you have any point to your post other than to peddle your ridiculous love affair with backwards arse
American religious sects?
