The scripture you quoted is about refusing to indulge revenge.

It's not about tolerating injustice or sin.

Someone who quotes scripture as a got ya is never going to engage when you actually explain the passage to them.

Yes, but as a Christian, I'm compelled to present the correct context for them and also for everyone else reading this thread.

Many of these atheists are so edgy because they desperately want to understand the world.

Many eventually find what they're searching for and become outstanding Christians.

I've been on my journey to Christ for about 6 years now. They will come to him when they are ready. Once you realize that any question you have God has actually already answered you come in mind. That was the first step for me. Christ is King!

I was raised an atheist.

My journey began while debating graceful Christians who took the time to share the love and knowledge with me even when I wasn't listening.

Thanks to them, while I was considering the problems with modern ((( subverted ))) Western culture, I realized how the teachings of the Gospel were the perfect foundation for past, present and future human culture.

Literally a miracle such divinely perfect good news came from a carpenter from Nazareth.

I realized it was literally a divine blessing that we have been gifted the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

[Orthodoxy believe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5o7uvKUzw0) that this verse means to "show them your other side" and "don't respond like with like." As in, if you are meek and kind but are shown evil and hit in the face, show them your wrathful side and hit them harder. If you are wrathful and struck for your folly, then show them your calm side.
