I think that you will find that when it comes down to kill or be killed, most will choose self-defence.
I will say that those bible thumpers who base their argument
solely on
"so it is written. . ." are annoying as hell.
Though, also
annoying as hell are those who label anything out of the bible (or in the pursuit of being godly. . .doing gods work) as being in-line with kooks.
Sure religions are often abused by people seeking power . . . "kooks."
However, there are those working in good faith, within religions to make the world a better place.
Recognizing the difference is wise.
