Where do you draw the line? There are probably thousands of different religions/beliefs in this country. And what about people who are atheist?

An eye for an eye? It is really Christian like? Isn't it in the old Testimate?

It's in the Old Testament, but the New Testament takes prescedence for Christians, and it says:

You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:38-39, NRSV)

So, no, it's not Christian-like.
Man, I'm not even religious and I'm posting Bible verses.
That one's a pet peeve of mine, though, since it's so often misinterpreted.
