I think it's a demonstration of atheist rule from the UK, who think that kicking people in the face, punching them and slamming their limbs on the floor cannot be a spiritual experience.
Who says it can't?

So where does that leave that the papacy, Calvinism, Lutheranism and Christian colonialism?
Is there a completely new non-violent form of Christianity all of a sudden?
Or is it just a convenient way of sanitizing certain sects that are probably also violent?
What verses prove that Christianity is non-violent?
Please tell me more.

Well exactly, they all claimed to have that teaching, but they all turned violent.
Should one not judge every tree by its root?
And there are parts of that teaching that say quite clearly that Jesus does not bring peace, but a holy sword to even turn family members against each other violently.
However, I appreciate the fact that non-violent and good Christians have made a stand here.
Even in the whole circus of religion a moral line is drawn for conscientious people, and I commend the Christian posters on this page who have spoken out for that.
If only people in politics had spoken out sooner in a similar fashion...

We need to kick people in the face now? What happened to simply laying on of hands for impartation?

Well I don't run any ministries, let alone ministries that are violent or kick people.
So I'm not sure why that question is directed at myself.

You know that it is hasatan doing the kicks.
Through grace these people can be relieved of their delusion to be kicked in the face not the law of the land.

Amen... just can't find evidence of the apostles doing anything similar in the book of Acts to impart spiritual gifts.
