I don't think spitting in someone's face is a very good witness.
Just saying. If you want to go the martyr route, submit to it completely.

I don't know ... Jesus took the time to sit down and actually braid the scourge he used to go into the temple and whip his own people out of it because they were making a mockery of his father's house.
I'm quite sure He wasn't humming .. "I love you, you love me .. we're a Ha pee fa ma lee ... " while he pulled the braids tight before going in.
y'know?
