So this kid thinks hes funny, and a wise guy and asks if violence is the answer.  BUT I will try to answer that in the best way possible.

Let us start with a verse from Matthew, 7:12.  It reads "So in everything, do to others what you would have them to to you, for this sums up the Law of the Prophets."  I thinks that is pretty self explanitory.  It also says in Romans 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.  Honor one another above yourself."  So taking those 2 verses and their meanings nas combining them it says don't do anything to another that you would not do to yourself, or a family member.  And the one that I think sums it up for Christians is in 1 John 4:20-21 "If anyone says 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar.  For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.  And he has given us this command:  Whoever loves god must also love his brother." 

What I am trying to say is that violence is not the answer.  God will frown upon the action. An exerpt from Ephesians 4:32 "...forgiving one another..." In forgiveness, no bitterness is left, and violence is not a question.

But you may say "but in the bible there are all these wars", but I will also say that God is God.  These wars were set up by Him, for a higher reason.  To make way for his promised people.

So in short.  I do not think that violence is the answer.  However, this is only my opinion, after listening to Gods word. 

Thank you for your question McBane.  Anyone else with a question?  Ask away.

Luke 4:3 And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

4 And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man’s only need.
