Since Jesus Was Tortured To Death?

Does that give conservatives pause to reconsider their pro torture stance?

    I think it's a comical comparison.

    Problem is Jesus was the "Good" guy and the torturers were bad.

    Terrorists are evil, therefore torturing would be recommended and letting loose all those GITMO guys will be a mistake.

    It is part of the reason why I do not understand why polls indicate that a majority of people who go to church every week think it is okay to do torture in extreme situations; this is a higher percentage than any other group. Like a friend of mine said, did they write a new version of the New Testament that I haven't read yet?

    Some folks think this is a stupid quesiton; some think it is a volatile question. I think it is a good question, because it is sparking discussion and reaction.

    seems to be a bit of a stretch on that one. jesus...terrorist....jesus...terrorist...i just can't seem to agree they're anywhere close to each other.

    i don't condone torture, however i make exceptions for these despicable concious-less people who want to instill death and terror in innocent civilians' lives for sport.

  • Jesus wasn't a criminal whose mission in life was to kill people who believed in freedom. Big difference.

    Conservatives and Jesus have very little in common.

    There is nothing sacred for liberals, is there? No low that is too low. I understand Hitler was able to incite people against the Jews by calling them "Christ killers," and I think you're headed in that direction.

    I will not accept the media's evaluation that Christian conservatives are "pro-torture," as I consider that just another attack on us from the godless in journalism. The simple truth is that we are pro-life and in particular, pro-American life.
