I did not. I have seen Christians use this verse to support their militancy or actions that would directly contradict the other two (love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek).

There's another story in the gospels (Mark 11:12-25) where Jesus kills a fig tree because he was hungry and the tree didn't have any figs because it was out of season. Again, not peaceful, cheek turning Jesus.

Even if you were, "One of those Christians" I'd hope you'd read the Bulwark. I hope you read things that don't "confirm" your worldview now.
