Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
I don't think that big revival meetings were every really an overt policy of mainstream Mennonite conferences. My understanding of this history is that certain Mennonite individuals such as the Brunk brothers started their own stand-alone revival ministries that were not really under the auspices o...

Re: War in Gaza
In other words, several lawless countries who want to be an authority unto themselves and reserve the right to engage in war crimes, unwarranted invasions, and face no consequences for doing so. That sums up America, Russia, India, China, and Israel quite well. No, that’s not the “in other words”. ...

Re: War in Gaza
Many Augustinians don't really care what ICC thinks so I doubt mentioning the organization here on MN will make much difference in their minds. You might want to rethink that rather facile and pejorative logic. I am not an Augustinian, I am a non-resistant Anabaptist and yet I think the ICC and it’...

Re: War in Gaza
I don’t hate Netanyahu. I do think he is a warmonger who has done much to hurt the cause of peace. And my opinion on that is almost entirely based on things (Jewish) Israelis have told me. It’s possible to believe Hamas is very bad but also think Netanyahu is bad and is not a good leader. Even now,...

Re: War in Gaza
Here's the study Did you actually read the study that you cited? It is a several Israeli authors who essentially did the following: 1. Tried to estimate the total volume of food entering Gaza in terms of caloric content. Which they only did very roughly. 2. Estimated the total population of Gaza 3....

Re: War in Gaza
Israeli terrorism. it’s become Israeli government policy to starve the civilian population of Gaza. Part of that policy includes allowing right wing terrorist groups to block international food aid: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/16/palestinian-lorry-drivers-israeli-settlers-att...

Re: Bunny Trails: Politics
The US was faced with 3 plausible strategies for bringing the war with Japan to an end. There is evidence that Japan was about to surrender. Negotiating that surrender would have been the most moral choice. I don’t know what evidence you read. Could have been. However, in war, “about too” doesn’t s...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?
With respect to some of the previous comments above, this thread doesn't seem to be about whether war is justified on the part of unregenerate geo-political entities or not, aggressively or defensively. As I understand Josh, the question is specifically about using bombs that inherently target inno...
