Pacifism is just laziness, no man is so devoid of self-respect that he wouldn't want to crush his enemies to dust. Laziness never pays off in the long run.
Nope. Something similar or maybe even the exact wording is found in the old. A sword is mentioned and God grasping it. The new testament is often found in the old, see zechariah where yeshua the high priest is mentioned. Jesus. Typology.
>The old testament never mentions God actually using a sword
Ezekiel 21 >3and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 4Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north. 5Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
Isaiah 34 >5When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,
then it will come down upon Edom,
upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood.
It drips with fat—
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Isaiah 27 >1In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpenta—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
Jeremiah 47 >6‘Alas, O sword of the LORD,
how long until you rest?
Return to your sheath;
cease and be still!’
Not any pagans. Specifically the old testament commanded Israel to kill the sinners and wicked men women and children even cattle iirc of ancient Canaan. Not just "any" pagans.
Actual answer: impossible to say because pacifism is NOT going to war, so basically every time someone would have gone to war and lost but didn't, we don't tend to write that kind of thing down
Like if Russia didn't invade Ukraine they would be better off
One of the reasons the civil rights movement in the US was so effective was because the participants primarily used civil disobedience while the opposition could be very violent. Ordinary citizens turned on their new TV for the evening news and saw news of assassinations and police violence against people who just sat down or walked around.
This will only be worthwhile if the mangaka makes him fail like in history. It's fine if he rps as a pacifist monk because of his superhuman abilities, but not everyone has that luxury.

you don't do a superbly well-researched historical manga and then throw a massive curveball at the ending, that's not how those work. Ad Astra didn't end with Hannibal winning.
I have zero respect for pacifists. Your stance isn't strong. Your stance isn't merciful. Your stance isn't inspiring.
Your stance is just nothing. In action.
What gets my idealist juices flowing is actually someone like Chisato from Lycoris Recoil: she is a pragmatic idealist. She believes in violence, and she believes in mercy. She takes her enemies out, and then administers first aid. She uses non-lethal means upon enemies that shoot back live bullets.

Jesus Christ.
>I didn't come to bring peace, but a sword
The old testament never mentions God actually using a sword, that's what I've read. Only that he grasps it in judgement.
that's because the quote is from the new testament

I dunno, OT is full of schizo stuff, I don't really read it, it basically commands me to genocide pagans.

We really aren’t a very imaginative species are we?
are you retarded?
Sure, you? Is it not clear to you from this sort of thing that religious works are clearly written by men and not divinely inspired?
>how come God uses relevant metaphors we can understand, instead of referencing stuff we have literally no idea about?
He’s god. Surely he can explain the strong nuclear force to a prophet or two, but nope: metal swords
It works when your enemies become a universal democracy and elect cuckolds
Are you saying Gandhi had sex with the queen's husband?
Yes
He dipped his head in oil and rubbed it on that pasty Anglo flesh
The Mennonite movement
Amish, the majority of whom practice pacifism
mormons were pacifists right?
Fuck no
Qaukers
Amish and Mennonites

>Qaukers

It never works as a buff to yourself, only as a debuff to your enemy.

Owning weapons and not using them is pacifism.
The rise of Christianity is a good example. Jesus' message of turning the other cheek has had a strong influence at the socio-cultural level
This, the rise of christianity in rome was through literal slaves ideologically overtaking their masters.

This is genuine strength.
Pacifists, meanwhile, just off yourself.
