The whole pacifist idea has never sat well with me. I believe in vengeance not forgiveness, vindication not turning the other cheek. These are my beliefs though...
I personally identify with Satan though. To me Satan is the personification of rebellion. He stood up for what he believed in even though he knew it was futile. I'm not going to argue the reason behind Satan's rebellion but the concept of sticking to your guns regardless of the obstacle you might face is a noble cause. This is the only "good" that I find in the Bible other than entertainment. The idea that true strength comes from within, not from the pages of an ancient book.

but, strength doesn't come from pages of an ancient book, it doesn't come from a book at all, it does come from within!
At times I feel like you about the whole "vengeance" thing, I have those feelings from time to time.
