well, I'm sure you'd know better than anyone.
One of the difficulties with all these gospels is that they are quite clearly open to interpretation - and I really don't feel I have enough familiarity with St Si Modo's cutural and historic context to be 100% sure I have interpreted accurately.

I also find it interesting that you also advocate a deliberate ramming at sea.

Yes - when one views 'ramming' and 'whaling boats' together in the historical context - it may well be seen as a pre emptive strike.
In the past it had been enough to come between the whales and the whalers, however the whalers upped the ante when they rammed a greenpeace boat.
Not only were they attacking defenceless whales, but they also attacked eco warriors - their own species.
One could hardly be surprised that an eco warrior may think it better to go on the attack if this is likely to happen.
