ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christian pacifism

Christian pacifism is when Christians choose to not fight even when they are in a difficult situation. Some Christians have decided not to hurt or harm anyone, even if it means they might get hurt themselves. They believe that God's love for all people and Jesus' teachings that we should love our neighbor and not cause anyone harm means that all people should be treated with kindness and respect, even if it means not fighting or using violence.
