Q105: What does God require in the sixth Commandment?
A105: That I do not revile, hate, insult or kill my neighbor either in thought, word or gesture, much less in deed, whether by myself or by another, but lay aside all desire of revenge; moreover, that I do not harm myself, nor wilfully run into any danger. Wherefore also to restrain murder the magistrate is armed with the sword.

Q107: But is this all that is required: that we do not kill our neighbor?
A107: No, for in condemning envy, hatred, and anger, God requires us to love our neighbor as ourselves, to show patience, peace, meekness, mercy, and kindness towards him, and to prevent his hurt as much as possible; also, to do good even unto our enemies.

For those who support/watch/enjoy/participate in UFC & Pride fighting, how would you answer this criticism?
