Would it be a sin for a Christian to torture another Christian?

[Philosoraptor]

I know that it's perfectly legal and socially acceptable for a Christian to torture a Muslim, after all, they are all going to hell anyway and are pre-emptively damned, but would it be a sin if a Christian tortured another Christian? Is there anything in the bible about torturing a fellow Christian, or torture in general?

Is there any sense of irony or sarcasm left in this world, or has it all been tortured away?

1. That begs the question - is it a sin for a muslim to torture another muslim?

So many torture questions, so little time.

2. It is neither legal or socially acceptable to torture anyone.

in this country. bush is no longer president. And irony and sarcasm have to have a modicum of wit and the ability to make a valid point.

4. nothing. I like some of your posts

but others I find superficial and/or fatuous. I liked your post about women and burqas, for instance. I think you were essentially right.

5. What the heck?

It's a sin for anybody to torture ANYBODY.

6. Oh, that's been done already.

The Albigensian Crusade, for one. As long is God is on the side of the torturers, it's perfectly OK.
