Yes. Of all the religions I have studied, the Amish really live their according to the Bible. they mind their own business and just ask to be left alone to live their lives peacefully.. People who are rude or unkind to them just show their own ignorance. And they act in a most unchristian way!
We really need to be praying for them.
Many Amish do not share the beliefs most Christians would hold necessary for salvific faith.
But that is not what caused me to think this. If the responses here are not what you would wish for them, think of them being locked up for a week. They will be targets for all the foolish, thuggish, sixth grade mentality inmates with them, and even in a county lock up, when you have that degree of difference from the norm, there is an extreme amount of bullying and violence aimed at you.
They are to be respected, even if i cannot affirm all their theology, and overall they increasing serve as a contrast between the hedonism of a post-Christian country and Christian morality.
Then whatever happened to "render unto Caesar the things that art Caesar's"?
Plus, if they want to live under their own religious laws and not our country's laws, why can't the Muzzies also live here under their own Sharia law?
