re:2027

An interesting answer. I've never thought of it in quite those terms. Something to ponder and pray about.

I wonder how that applies to current events. Most specifically: if terrorism is evil and pacifists seek to pacify or make "peace" with evil as opposed to fighting and resisting evil, then is pacifism evil?

Yes, in as much as it is apathy to the problem. Those who really believe the problem can't be solved by war are more justifiable, at lest they believe something.
