In what is the sickest twist in Christian theology since they finally stopped burning witches in the 18th century, it seems that the closer you are to Jesus, the guy who promoted such popular maxims as, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you," and of course, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone,” the more into torture you are. Maybe I should have taken it as a sign when I took a BDSM course which had three ministers among the participants? :dunno:
More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did. -CNN
