- Assuming a non-christian worldview which still held to some kind of moral standard, what level of judgement is it right for me wage against my friends - for example, say someone was irationally angry with me and hit me or something (assuming it was a non-criminal offense) - would it be right for me to carry out anything against them, or is that not my area of responsibility? Is the situation different if they repent or not?

Jeff: I think insomuch as we aren't supposed to avenge ourselves, we aren't to do anything "against them."

- When I say 'sorry' to someone, what does this actually do? It seems that often it's a one word act that is supposed to wipe everything clear and mean it's all alright, is it really something different?

Jeff: If it's sincere, it communicates something important. I know I would like to know if some one is sorry or not when they wrong me. It makes a difference as to how you interact with them.
