So the one group of people who had their very own “hero” tortured are more likely to support torture of their enemies. Honestly, I don’t blame people with no faith background for being pro-torture. They have no turn the other cheek mantra to live by. Why not be pissed and retaliate when someone punches you in the face? But Christians …? Turn the other cheek. Do not lift your sword. Beat your sword into plowshares. Love your enemies. The very tenets of their faith and the example of the Christ is that of creative non-violence. Yet the leading propoents of torture in today’s society is Christians. Oh what an odd upside down world we live in. Josh Brown ☀
