You know what's funny...we all tend to view Mennonites and Amish as strange thinkers but at the same time, they're very devout and they practice what they preach. I don't agree with many of their ways but I can certainly appreciate that they stick to their beliefs. I don't view the anthem as "violent" but respect that they do so I'll not fault them for what they do on their campus as long as it hurts no one.

Yea, seems we share the same views. I have much respect for the Amish and Mennonites, I've always been treated kindly by them and they also have pretty good senses of humor. We had an annual gathering for our company where we invite all the farmers to attend and usually we get a handful of Amish and Mennonites that show up. At last years function, we had door prizes and an Amish guy ended up winning the GPS unit and the rest of the Amish were practically rolling on the floor laughing. He ended up actually collecting it, too.
