Doesn't the fact that the weak need defending imply that there's something attacking them? If so, the harm brought to the threat is justified, really.

Quote:Because, as a Christian (and I'm not bringing up God, just stating a moral dilemma that I think about every now and then) it seems that I should be as much of a pacifist as possible, turning the other cheek and all that, but am doesn't Evil win when Good does nothing?

If you believe that, ask yourself why god, the ultimate good, also does nothing.
