Cheek turning sounds great on paper. The Son of God thought it was a pretty good idea. I'd argue with you, but it's pointless to argue Christianity with a person that believes the Bible is just "paper". Mugabe will get what he deserves, and you will get what you deserve.

Love thy neighbor but keep your shotgun handy.

Repaying Mugabe with a .30 caliber hole just between his eyes would be a very good thing indeed.

This is not something an Archbishop should be indulging in. Aren't Christians enjoined to return good for evil?

It would be profoundly good for most people in that troubled land if profoundly evil people sometimes became targets for lightening bolts.

Read the imprecatory psalms, and outgrow the notion that we are called to be nicer than God.

I agree with Luke, I also agree with being a soldier. When Jerusalem is surrounded and the saints of God come forth, each one like 10,000 Davids to wreak havoc on those who have come to destroy the city, they are not offering the other cheek.

Context, effect, and the command of God is the question of the moment. I will turn the other cheek to help heal a mans offense, but if his intention is to only strike that cheek too, I might just take him off at the knees instead to protect the other sheep by me. That moment and instant decision is up to God.

I pray for the removal of some people for the sake of humanity. It's asking for God's mercy. Just like God has off'd some pretty bad people in the past. Look at Arafatty for instance.

Some other words to live by

"You only have the rights your willing to fight for"

"Except for ending Slavery,Fascism,Nazism,and Communism War has never solved anything" (add Mugabeism to the list)
