My hill to die on is when government agents are taking dissidents in the middle of the night.

I don't want to seem like a bitch, but the option I like isn't there.

That being, dying honourably only after I've (we've) won.

Well, I don't believe in honor, so I don't know for sure how to respond.

Probably dying while throwing sand in a bad guy's face in preparation for running like hell to fight again another day.

afaic, if people are trying to take the lives of my friends and family, I'd be well justified in defending them from a Christian standpoint. Non-aggression is a matter of objective morality. Pacifism is a matter of personal conscience.

The word "Kill" is a mostly Catholic thing.

Alright, I'll concede that, but wasn't Jesus basically a pacifist?
