Well then we are agreed. Even though we sometimes fail to do what God has taught us, we agree that if an evil person comes up and hits you, the proper thing to do is offer him the other cheek. We should not stick a chair up his ***.

If it is your position that you will respond to someone striking you by sticking a chair up his ***, IMO that is not consistent with what our Lord told us we should do, and is not Christian. But that is my opinion.

I cant tell you exactly how I would respond. Im 6 feet tall and 255 lbs. No one has ever walked up to me and smacked me in the face.

I would most certainly hope I would follow Christs teachings.

But like you, I have no idea how I would react in the heat of the moment.

again....I think you are looking for a debate that simply isnt there on this one.

Fair enough, I'm 6'3" 190, it's never happened to me either, and I can't honestly answer it any different than you.

Put me in the "Agree that nuking Japan was the best option" category.

Had we not, Hirihoto would not have been able to justify surrender to his advisors and people, and the end result would have been the complete destruction of the Japanese people. Not that I would have cared, as they were the enemy, but more importantly, countless Allies lives were saved.

Saving the lives US and allied personal is the only thing that mattered.

Who gives a damn about the jap leader saving face or destruction of the Japanese people.

A better question:

Why is he trying to force his version of Christian morality onto you?
