Loyal Peacemakers
The Amish religion is primarily pacifist, with a strong emphasis on repentance and the avoidance of conflict. For religious reasons, the Amish refuse to serve in the military or support the death penalty. The Amish are pacifists who believe they are following Jesus’ command to love those who hate them. The Amish despise all forms of violence.

Unique Toys
Toys with no faces are frequently given to young Amish children. Pride and vanity are discouraged by the expressionless, blank faces. According to a 2007 sociological report, the dolls are faceless because “all are alike in God’s view,” and the lack of facial features complies with the Bible’s prohibition against graven images. The majority of Amish doll makers chose to remain anonymous.
