The men in my church would have fought back, within reason of course. This is our country too and the church has gone too far with the pacifist mentality. We have a cop, firefighters, blue collar workers, ex-military, Steeler Fans, and a CCW instructor in my church, this wouldn't happen to us.
i don't know...
one of the questions i have about Christianity is about the right to defend one's person and property. i sent this article to several Christian preachers i know, and they all spoke up in favor of the actions of the churchmembers.
personally, i have a problem with that reaction. the preachers spoke of loving the sinner but hating the sin along with relevant scriptures from the Bible, and that the church did right by holding theirselves to a higher standard of behavior.
i recall that Jesus kicked some ass in church when some money changers were disrespecting God's house. so i wonder what the difference is.
