While most religons are anti violence,I don't think any religon with common sense has anything against self defense. | |

With all the healing and kind and great things He did for people I don't think He needed self defense. Jesus didn't come to offend but offense will happen no matter what you do. Jesus knew this also that is why he said the father will be against the son. Daughter against mother so forth and so on. Jesus taught love above all else4. Love is patient. Love is kind. etc,etc. | |

But turned my back on the whole thing becasue the church. They are one of the greatest influences on others, yet they act like a bunch of jackass'. Iv never been so mistreated in the 'world' then I have in the 'church'... And that makes me weep for the worlds condition. When even the 'safest' place has become just as bad as everyone els. | |
