There's an interesting take on 'turn the other cheek'. :smug:

If only, first rule of fight church is we don't talk about......
The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.
Mark Twain

True. Although I have big problem with commercial cage-fighting, seeing it as exploitation of vulnerable young men. But that's a discussion for another thread.

A backwards primitive distasteful activity. I don't like the cage fighting either.

Sounds like yet another in the endless parade of "Hey, I like THIS< and I like THAT, I'm going to do BOTH at the SAME TIME!!!" things. Like combining having sex, with responding to the person's 'collectors bug," by "collecting" having had sex with every kind of person r animal or whatever. Or more mundanely, how we combined watching TV with Eating so long ago, and came up with "TV Dinners."

Whatever. It's not like it's going to sweep the world, and lead to no more mosques or Cathedrals, only Cage Bout Arenas.

That looked like child abuse to me.
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

Men fight while women let their emotions control them
And so training boys not to be like girls is the right way
As men rule the world and have to be seen to be strong
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN

Eloquently put. I was thinking of posting something similar, but words failed me.
