should turn the other cheek

My dad used to say the Bible never tells us what to do after we turn the other cheek (we run out of cheeks, after all. we're never told to just keep turning them back and forth).

I am no longer Catholic, but am so sick of people who think it is their duty to bash other religions. I understand people wanting to talk about why they think their religion is better for them, but the outright bashing of other religions is ridiculous. Because I know when someone bashes a religion it makes me want to be join right up with whatever church is insulting other people's spiritual beliefs. That's sure a prime example of Christianity.

You say you are no longer Catholic. Did you go through a tribunal and have your Catholic status revoked? If not, you are still Catholic. there's a thread somewhere about this.

Maybe I'm making this up or maybe it's in Shaw's Androcles and the Lion, but I have this image of somebody, a BIG STRONG somebody saying to his attacker,"Okay, I've shown you how we Xtians turn the other cheek. Now it's your turn to show me how well hyou learned it," and decks him.
