Good point, Christ himself was something of a wuss! "Turn the other cheek" and all that.

I tend to disagree with this. Jesus was a forgiving person yes, but when it came to his beliefs nothing would change him, not even torture. I beieve this is what is meant when he says Blessed is the Meek. You stand up unswervable for what you believe no matter what that causes to happen to you, but you don't force others to believe your way. I don't think this makes anyone a "wuss", in fact just the opposite.

I didnt mean to imply that Christ was a coward, but that he was a man of peace, as opposed to Muhammed or David. So much so that I would say that by todays standards, he would be considered rather wussy, but I suppose that word has too many negative connotations. Pacifist was probably a better term. Therefore, I agreed with this article.
