According to Poll, Time for Evangelicals to Ask WWJD Re Torture
Pew has stunning news out from a recent poll, that the correlation between allowing torture and church attendance is pretty strong. And what kind of frequent churchgoer prefers torture most? Evangelicals. Hold it a moment, isn’t George Bush an Evangelical? Have they even heard of Jesus the torture victim in his church?

1. while i'm not shocked by evangelicals response to torture --
these are a people who have given up faith in jesus for a faith built on a personal sense of persecution.

if you feel persecuted -- you will return the favor -- it's not true -- but that's what people do in this 'new' faith -- it isn't turning the other cheek and it is light years from anything Christ like.

3. I have found the evilgelicals disturbing for a long time. Real Christians don't
Torture, or murder or persecute folks .
Is it any surprise really? Ya know its even been enshrined in We are soldiers for Christ nonsense.
I had started going to different evilgelical churches when I was a teen 'trying to find my way"
and starting to realize then they ain't what they are supposed to be.
