Well, the Bible's holiness isn't something that can be productively debated in an encyclopedia. I haven't read through this article for years, but after briefly skimming, I would say a section on a Biblical foundation for nonviolence makes sense, since 1) other religious sources of nonviolent ideas are discussed so extensively and 2) Tolstoy, who is mentioned several times, was inspired by his readings of the New Testament scriptures. The question of how the term nonviolence is distinct from pacifism is a bigger and thornier question, but also relevant: If nonviolence is a distinct concept focusing on a method to achieve political ends, as the lead section claims, rather than just the absence of violence, then why is there such extensive discussion about ahimsa and other religious concepts that seem more deeply connected to pacifism, objection to violence regardless of its political ramifications? I am not suggesting we take it out--What I'm saying is that if we include a focus on religious nonviolence apart from its political connotations, then we should include Christian pacifist movements as well (Quakers, Anabaptists, etc.). If they are excluded based on the specificity of the definition of nonviolence (which I understand), then the Indian religious foundations should be trimmed as well, except for the extent to which they motivated political movements such as Gandhi's.--MattMauler (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
