I feel violence is wrong overall, and would die to defend that conviction if a situation came to that.

So if one of your closest loved ones were threatened by a violent criminal (in a home invasion, for example), you would actually allow yourself and/or your loved one to die rather than commit an act of violence that eliminated the threat?

I'm not sure if I believe that.

Hypothetically speaking, if a grown man was beating up your own child, you wouldn't do anything to stop him, even at the risk of your child dying?
