"My usual reply is something along the lines of being Christian doesn't mean being nice all the time and a doormat."

you're right, the turn your cheek is always put out there but few people realize the apostles carried swords. Hence the ear cutting off in the garden.

I do my best to worry about myself and not others. That keeps me plenty busy. I don't care if the fox lady (or is it foxy) didn't quote the bible 100% verbatim to the King James Version. I thought she presented a positive image in contrast to a very negative christian image.

The message of Jesus was grace. Grace for our sins above all else but also grace for our other mistakes. Its what counts in the heart that matters to him and not the ability to quote 126 verses of the KJV. The quotes will come in time but when we critisize people in instances like that we are not presenting the image of grace.

Actually she did pretty well, even in the King James.

Banderas: "The Bible says 'the fear of the Lord is hatred of evil,' [from the Book of] Proverbs. 'Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.'

Actual verse:

Proverbs 8:13 KJV
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
