Why?

Because gullible Christians seek to co exist. They will not take up cudgels and beat up on thier enemies. .turning the other cheek will get you killed, is getting us killed

turning the other cheek will get you killed

It is my understanding that the “turn the other cheek” statement by Jesus in Matthew 5 referred to an old Jewish custom of an insultive smack on the cheek. I liken it to the old English version of pulling off a glove and slapping ones face to insult them. There’s a big difference between a desire to insult you and a desire to kill you.

Christians appear to have an inexhaustible number of cheeks to turn... and the left is more than happy to keep slapping them.
