Sounds very submissive.

Sounds very platonic, masochistic, weak, or (all 3) Christian Virtue..

Rather, we should treat others as you wish to be treated... And then when their response is sure, "treat others as you have been treated." Love those who deserve love, and destroy those who deserve wrath. A law of basic human nature.

I disagree, I don't see pacifist values as weak at all , quite the opposite in fact.

I don't agree with a lot of religious teachings, but this is one thing I think they (in theory if not in practice) get right.
