The discussion of Christianity that flared up in responses to this metaquote is pretty freaking vigorous; some good reading in there.

A fascinating read that took far too much of my morning.

I was thinking about this in the shower this morning, and some revelations came to me...

The very powerful part, is the "let them kill you". But... who is "you"? If a "bad guy" is shooting me, I should just let them. But what if they aren't shooting me? What if they are shooting my friends? What if doing something terribly and dreadfully violent to the bad guys is the best way to protect my friends?

This is why this has been so difficult to implement. Some people might be willing to sacrifice themselves, but their families? And then it extend to the comunity, the country, and boom you have wars again.
