Jon, I'm interested in what you said about passivity being the Christian response. You say they would neither scapegoat the victim nor defend him.

It seems like passivity is the correct response when you are being victimized, i.e., turning the other cheek (as Dr. Jackson pointed out to me in his office the other day, actually hiding the wound that has just been inflicted from the inflicter). However, aren't you called to some sort of activity when you see someone else being victimized? Of course, you can't be violent towards the victimizers, but when Christ saw the crowd about to stone the adulterous woman, he certainly wasn't completely passive. He defends her, only not to the point of instigating violence against anyone else.
