revelation chapter 18 is all about israelites and christians taking a double portion of revenge on the beast system and the whore of babylon. revenge is a healthy experience. revenge is a healing experience. it's not a one size fit all standard though, you have to discern what to do by each case. your revenge should proportional to the crime(usually.) personally i am a perponent of collective punishment. liberal are not usually, but they are all corrupt idiots. there's a reason god will never forgive satan, he sinned way to high. i think there is a difference between discipline and revenge but the two seem similar. proportional revenge with the intent to later forgive in order to discipline can be perceived as punishment, god punishes those who he loves. revenge without forgiveness is just simply revenge, but there is nothing wrong with revenge. at least according to the bible, i can't speak for other religions/philosophies, i would view them as corrupt anyway.
