In the meantime, you haven't at all defended that passage to me. You've twisted it around to another angle. The passage says, and you've even admitted it yourself, that you should accept the suffering that others give you. It is supposed to be noble to just take it instead of rejecting it. Like I said before, this is exactly why I don't agree with it. This is Mother Teresa's kind of justification. It also enables slavers.
I can understand how it is difficult to accept... especially from your perspective. What Christianity has taught me however, is that it is not all about me, nor my pleasure all the time. And I find the atheistic view and subjective morality enables slavers.
So we aren't playing the context game anymore. Good.
Now we can just plain disagree. Thank you. You are still playing games with the passage by redirecting the discussion and playing the interpretation game, but I'll let that slide since it is a different issue entirely. Don't expect me to like your view of morality though. Just wow.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
