And it also doesnt' matter whether it is thought about or actually acted upon.....


and it was just an answer

Yes, though people often say its wrong and point it out in others while they do it themselves.

Well, it's good to see that many of us can come to a general consensus on this matter, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof. If only other issues were this easy!

I don't understand your question?? I condemn them both, but physical "attacks" are worse than verbal ones, IMO.

On this , you and I are in 100% agreement. Physical attacks are worse than verbal attacks.

However, as it says in Eccleasiastes to everything there is a time and season. I believe there is even a time for getting physical. It doesn't mean that anything goes or that the end justifies the means. But sometimes a measured response is neccesary. Jesus turned over the moneychangers tables in the temple. I would say that surpassesd grabbing a cell phone.

I can respect a pacifest viewpoint , even in it's most extreme form. but I simply don't agree with extreme pacifism. There is a time and place for pacifism , in my view, but not in all times and situations.
