And a LOT of them were martyred for their patience.
Sorry but I’m just not the ‘saintly martyr’ type.

That wasn't my point at all. If anything, from the way I am reading this scripture it is saying to the aggressors 'we won't start the fight (by patience) but we will finish it. If these maniacs start the violence, we will finish it. But they need to start it. What they sow, so shall they reap. All this crap they keep accusing us of is an attempt to make us fire the first shot. Hasn't worked. Now they are advocating starting violence. Let them start....
