Yes because they care. What else would they want? They never ask for money. So? What gives?

What I like about them is they NEVER go to war. Now that sounds like a group that knows how to live in peace as an example to others.

Here's the problem....Christians are supposed to be "brothers" so why do they kill each other in wars when their government tells them to? Christ never taught that otherwise his disciples would have fought the Romans when they took him away. Peter cut off the ear of a Roman soldier....BUT what happened next?

But Jesus said to him: “Fellow, for what purpose are you present?” Then they came forward and laid hands on Jesus and took him into custody. 51 But, look! one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword and struck the slave of the high priest and took off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father to supply me at this moment more than twelve legions of angels?

I've hear every excuse in the book as to why some so called Christians think this doesn't mean they shouldn't go to war. So? Who is right after all the debate? Simple....the witnesses because IT WORKS FOR THEM. They are the only group in EVERY country on Earth that does not go to war. That in itself proves that Christ meant that Christians don't fight and stay neutral.
