Quote:Maybe if you knew the political and cultural implications of "turn the other cheek", you would appreciate it more.
Oh do tell. Let's have a practical example of apologetic bullshit as you try to turn this passage into something that modern xtian shitwits can live with. In case you forgot, that is not the only example in the passage in question. I'll give you the whole bit to refresh your memory. It's the least I can do.
Quote:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Quote:Why would the saying specify the right cheek? Why not just "cheek" or simply "strikes you"?
He's your fucking god. Maybe he was left-handed? By all means, let's see what nonsense you come up with. ( Be aware, xtians have been all over the web "explaining" what their fucking "god" meant...he's obviously a poor communicator...in this passage long before you became embarrassed by this bit.)
