It has weakened the average Christian man. I'm not saying to be mean, or not nice, simply to be a firm, honest, direct man. Be like Christ. The idea of being nice has led to the hundreds of little boys over medicated on mood-altering drugs simply for being boys. Women are delightful.
Men are adventurous.
As boys, we do not grow up dreaming of being nice, we grow up dreaming to be men. Not only is it the largest language in the world, but its words have multiple, even opposite meanings. Frankly, I am not good at turning the other cheek and never intended to add that to the application. I am not opposed to soldiering, I just don't see any example of it by Christ in the gospel accounts. Christian soldiering is a Pauline theme.
