I am wondering the same thing as CoolJGS, against what?

If someone is calling me names, I say "sticks and stone may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me". I usually ignore them.

If someone is breaking in to my house to steal my TV, I'll help him load his car with it. I'm insured.

The guy in the video rambled on for twenty minutes without really saying much. I think he should see a psychiatrist as he seems to be off kilter. Dreaming about killing people and encouraging others to do so as well seems creepy.

Are Christians the only ones allowed self defense? Why not Jewish or Muslims?

Isn't this guy preaching unnecessary violence? What about going to jail for vigilantism?

Against violence, Father Nelson.

And no one is saying that Jews and Muslims aren't allowed self defense. There never seemed to be any moral ambiguity with them, at least not that I can remember.

Ok. All people, regardless of faith, skin color, gender, sexual orientation etc should be allowed to use reasonable force to defend themselves if threatened. Using more force than needed will result in legal trouble.
