I honestly can't say until I'm actually confronted with the situation.
Here's what I can tell you from a different situation. I have a friend who is very pro gun rights. Tried really hard to convince me I should start carrying one because I work in a really bad part of town. When I said no, he asked who will protect me. I told him God always has. One morning I arrived at work a little early and there was a man who was out of his mind and dangerous. Was standing by my car challenging me and shouting obscenities. I locked my doors and started praying that God would bring calm and this could be resolved peacefully. Less than a minute after I started praying, the man started to calm down and the security guard and a male coworker slowly approached to make sure he didn't attack me. He went away on his own and it all had a peaceful ending. |

Pretty sure an imaginary being didn't save you lol With all due respect, I've never found that God is imaginary. There have been many examples in my life where God has been there. I don't ask you to follow my beliefs, but I do ask you not to belittle them. Whatever has worked for you is great. God is what is and has always been in my life. |

It just amazes me that people still believe in such utter nonsense. I get that children are still being brainwashed at an early age into believing in the ridiculous (even an average intelligence can work out that the notion of god is borderline lunacy) but when people attribute any event where the outcome is good as an act of god is quite frankly sad. Instead of thankign some imaginary being, why not just be proud of yourself for dealing with a situation? Why not thank a stroke of luck for some scenario playing out in your favour or just show the human race some respect in that we came to this point in our evolution without the invention of your stupid god. Let me tell you what god does in scenarios such as what the OP suggested. He does the exact same as Superman, Batman and Bug Bunny - Not affect the event due to an overall lack of existence! |

I've grown up competing in combat sports as well as serving my time in the military. Violence has been pretty much been instilled in me.
Having said that, I don't go around looking to fight/hurt people etc. However if someone is threatening my family/friends then I am going to do whatever it takes to stop the situation/attacker. So to answer your question, I would turn the burglars face into ground beef with the baseball bat. |
