Moderators lazarus Posted May 1, 2009 Moderators Posted May 1, 2009 The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey. The Washington Region Religious Campaign Against Torture rallied on Capitol Hill in March 2008. 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. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/30/religion.torture/index.html#cnnSTCText WHY? Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

Woody Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 HOW interesting. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Key Guy Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 When you consider that the Crusades were conducted by bloodthirsty Christians, it's pretty obvious that history repeats itself. Since a terrorist wants to kill us and makes no bones about it, perhaps the torture thing can just be replaced by gently asking questions. If the terrorist refuses or provides wrong answers, he or she should be taken out back and shot. Another American life saved! (it's called 'self-defense', liberals) Quote
