The actual verse is Luke 6:31 - And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. So you have that exactly backwards. You do not kill people lest you would like to be killed. Proverbs 24:29 Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for what he has done.” Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Personally I do not consider punching someone in the nose for slights to be evil. I consider it teaching a lesson that they never learned in church. |

Well, if you bring in The Book then you fish for consequences. The Book is huge (like *HUGE* huge, probably written in Texas or something; and I've read it all; I just don't know which exactly) and there is any sort of crazy staff. Anyway, may I remind you that The Book also teaches forgiveness, doesn't it? Still, I don't understand why it must be torture. Here comes PSA. Can anyone (in sane mind and layman terms) explain to me, how last part of the quote is connected with the rest? Noone can. Thus what we have here is clear example of Goal Post Moving. Now, wouldn't it be easier (to move goal post) if arguments (now to be avoided) would be stripped? Instead you bring in walls of text. -- Torvalds' goal for Linux is very simple: World Domination Stallman's goal for GNU is even simpler: Freedom |
