Pacifism and Christian responses to war.

• Pacifism is the idea that all forms of violence are wrong. Pacifists such as Quakers refuse to take part in war and often choose to be a conscientious objector (someone who doesn’t go to war for moral reasons) or to assist in medical tasks like ambulance driving. Martin Luther King was a famous Christian pacifist.
• Christians try to show mercy and agape (sacrificial love) to victims of war and provide them with assistance. This can be through charity or through welcoming them into their churches. It can be victims in their own country or refugees such as people fleeing from Syria.
• Christianity isn't a pacifistic religion.
• For Pacifism:

  "Blessed are the peace makers."

  "If your enemy is hungry, feed him... overcome evil with good"

  "Treat others how you would like to be treated"
• For kindness towards victims of war:

  "Treat others how you would like to be treated"

  "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink"
