How much history do you know about the Mennonites? This is a Protestant denomination that goes back to the 16 century. If you know your history you would know their long commitment to non-violence. You would also know that many were persecuted and killed in the past centuries since they refused the defend themselves when attacked.
They are probably just liberal, dressed up and hiding behind some notion of pacifism, for which they really aren’t even adhering to Christian standards in expressing.
Mennonites are not liberals. They are hard-working conservative people. Their understanding of Christianity may be different from yours and mine. They take a very literal view of the passages of the New Testament that advocate non-violence. They also believe in a strict separation of church and state.
How many Mennonites will you find on welfare and food stamps? I would say zero.
You are wasting your time. The people you are trying to reason with are incapable of reason. They would rather throw around venom and seek virtual high fives because it makes them feel better about their own lives.
The internet has brought this mentality upon us. People simply are becoming incapable of anything other than bumper sticker slogans and superficial thought.
When you point out to them that: “Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only a unanimity at the graveyard.” They find themselves utterly incapable of understanding what that means.
Then your also aware of their fabrication work for the drug cartels in Mexico an central an south America ?
Given they won’t touch drugs but they know the false compartments they build are for smuggling. they know what the end product they build is used for.
Violence, suffering etc...
Yeah there are good ones true to their core beliefs yet not all nor many.
Lots of bad folks hide an work within such groups. Back then an now.
Stay Safe...
