In other words, turning the other cheek does not mean that one is not fighting, then?

Well, we COULD have them listen to a few episodes of Quirks and Quarks
Better preaching, usually!
Here is a better link.
Edited by Phat, : add better link

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. --Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Thats the thing, Charles! We are all addicts! We hang out here and wear our emotions on our sleve and then get surprised that people call us snobs! Its because we all are actually getting closer...brothers and sisters fight now and then!

Re: FSM
Robin writes:
How is FSM different from God?
1) Numerous millions of people take God seriously. Many have anecdotal stories---told in all seriousness--about encounters with God or His influence.
By contrast, the FSM is a derived parody with no serious group of observable followers. Perhaps unfalsifiable, the FSM has nevertheless changed few if any lives profoundly.
There is quite a lot of anecdotal and written testimony that would suggest God (the Deity) having more influence in human lives.
