From CNN:
The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.
At first blush it seems odd. These folks worship a man who was tortured and executed because he was a suspected terrorist, or at the very least an enemy of the state. One would think that his self proclaimed followers would be hesitant to inflict similar suffering on others, but that’s obviously not the case. Throughout their long history Christians of almost all denominations have been quite comfortable with the idea of inflicting pain on those with whom they disagree. Perhaps their shared delusion that we all have a chance at an eternity of bliss makes them more willing to inflict suffering here on earth.
