The guys in the video were pointing out vandalism done to the Temple grounds, and were removing signs that had been wrongfully posted on the property. Its unfortunate that they didn't bring more of their friends with them.

Is the proper christian responce to be a doormat?
Turning the other cheek would be to wait until the third paper had been posted on a windshield after a warning had been given. After that the gloves are off.
Being a christian does not mean being a helpless victim. It just means you have a moral code and try to maintain a virtuous enviorment in your life. A morally apathetic sack of feces posting papers on your car advocating sodomy rights infringes upon my sphere of virtue.

Is the proper Christian response to be a brutish thug? Please show me the Bible ref that sanctions assault.
No really.

For distributing fliers, eh? Do you have children? I sure hope not.
Cyber-bullying is an interesting phenomenon, and I am often fascinated by the behavior of insecure and intolerant people who seem unable to restrain themselves.

I want to be kind to ev’ryone,
For that is right, you see.

Kindness begins with me.”

Gaz,
You're a poser. All the musical artists you love, that you go on and on, and on about. More so than anyone who posts here. Even if you edit your collection like an immature hypocrite to only include tracts which don't explicitely disagree with the lame Mormon gospel, you must know, deep down -- and I think you do -- that 99.9 percent of these artists have no problem at all with homosexuality. You know, as bad as Droopy gets picked on, for many legitimate reasons, at least in his own make believe world he understands that he can't maintain any credibility while worshiping the MTV culture. You, on the otherhand, basically put the liberal world on a pedestal when it comes to the arts -- with the token edit, of course -- and then switch gears entirely, as if you think you really can, and condemn something like homosexuality as the epitomy of evil.
It makes no sense, and no one can take you seriously.

Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.
LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

What if Jesus said: "I'm not going to be a doormat!" "I shall henceforth bring forth twelve legions of angels to destroy you!"
If he had done that, the gospels would mean absolute ZERO today. It was his teaching of non-violence that inspired people like Gandhi. If he had taught, "go get 'em boy", he'd be a cypher in world history. And that's what I so often fail to see in too many Mormons. And Evs. They preach an empty doctrine, and have turned the Jesus of Faith into a warrior for their creeds and idiosyncrasies.

According to the revelations of Joseph Smith, but not according to the Gospels. But you didn't even give Mike that chance.

Gadianton,
Theres a balance that can be found. Sometimes I teeter to much this way or that. Being a Christian does not mean being cloistered.

Ray,
Why do you think it was that when they came to arrest the Savior the apostles were carrying swords?

And what did Jesus say? "Put down your swords". And when the ear of one of the guards was cut off, what did Jesus do? He healed it.
