Thank you for your interpretation, but that's another game entirely. This is a thread about the context game. We can move onto why the other method is just as bad another day.
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.
