I'm with Chopps on this. We've beaten it to death.
However, I would like to point out an overlooked point in the whole argument, that being vengeance. Even God Himself says "Vengeance is mine, I shall repay". Guess what? We've been ****ed with enough over the years that we look to that side of the world and say "Gues what ***hole, this is what vengeance really looks like".
Sometimes vengeance is not a bad thing. Got a problem with that? Don't bother me with it. Go ask God. It was His idea.
