Earthdweller I have to agree with you. Evil is evil and must be dealt with in an expedient manner. Turning the other cheek results in getting bitch slapped once again.
I summize God and Jesus both believe in self defense. Force should always be met with superior force, if called for in any situation.
Liberals pull the cover over their heads when a thug breaks into their houses, threatening bodily harm. Far better to be judged by twelve and not carried by six.
Liberals count on the common man to embrace this tripe “turning the other cheek mentality” to control Real Patriotic Americans, allowing evil to flourish.
Those who preach this pacifist nonsense remind me of the “liberal mush brained” Preacher in the movie “ZULU.”
All intelligent freepers should go out today and buy another gun to perturb those obama spit sucking liberal tyrants in our midst.
P.S For all those malcontents and fanatic bible thumpers, turning the cheek to evil is a quick way for a dirt nap in these times.

I have much agreement with your perspective . . . but not 100% in all cases, all contexts, all the time.
There IS, I have discovered, a time to appear to take the impossible, fool-hardy road of turning the other cheek to seemingly incredible harm in response.
I don’t think a rule can be made about it.
I think it has to be something Holy Spirit leads and directs.
And, not everyone is UP TO that challenge.
However, I HAVE OBSERVED in my own life and the lives of others, that WHEN Holy Spirit has so led and the individual(s) have followed through—THEY GAINED incaluably and the evil doers lost far more than if they had been confronted by the arm of flesh. Evil ended up devastated by God Almighty far more than the individuals could have ever exacted on their own.
There’s some mystery here but I know that’s also true.
