Interesting thing about turning the other cheek:
Matthew states whoever strikes you on your RIGHT cheek. . .
To do this a right-handed man would have to hit you backhand. This is a strike like you would give to a slave. What Jesus is in effect saying is that your response to your assailant should be, "You hit me as a slave. Do you dare to hit me like an equal?" Then you can rumble? There's a lot of cultural implication to this that we might not understand. . . .

NO.
I would like to hit back.
why should I turn the other cheek - because of my faith in god or my belief in the bible?
I believe in god - he didn't say to give my cheek - except to be kissed.
The bible/Christ says to turn the other cheek.

If you hit a believer they may use one of the many contradictions in their Bible and choose the 'eye for an eye' quote.
Then you'd be in trouble!

In the scriptures this is not necessarily speaking
of physical contact.
