It's not my job to coerce people to become Christians or even pacifists. That idea is at the very core of nonviolence. I'm not here to force you to be like me. That would be counterproductive. Like using military force to help people live in peace. Or using capital punishment to discourage people from killing each other. The way of force is not the way of Christ.
