I truly appreciate your point that absolute pacifism might not always be the answer in a world with bad actors. Finding the balance between peace and security is indeed a significant challenge.
I agree with you that faith can inspire empathy while also guiding us toward making good and informed decisions. It’s a challenge, but one that is undoubtedly worth the effort.
Your post reminds me of how scripture emphasizes discernment: the ability to distinguish right from wrong, especially in real-life and real-world situations.
