The more I watch of congress the more I think all of them need to be tortured.

On the news, every night.


Not sure how that fits in with the church thing . . .

Out of sight, out of mind.

The more you go to church, the more you are exposed to the ideas/threats of torture. Stories/Hell.

Acceptable through exposure?

That makes good sense. Religion is full of threats. That surely isn't love!! Religion is really screwed up and screws people up bad. It tried to screw me up bad and did for awhile but I'm too smart to fall for those lies and threats of hell, purgatory, limbo and the like if you don't believe. The people who are religious dictators or priests and the like are egomaniacs who like to feel full of power and make others feel very small, ashamed of themselves and incapable of being decent human beings without believing in their false god. There is no god. I may be damned to hell by them who believe in the unbelievable but I couldn't care less. Religion is the real evil entity and I can see how those who attend church would approve of torture. They only want to do back what is done to them and that is pretty natural.

You sure are wishy washy. Look at the bold. Then you make the quoted statement. If it's natural then everyone should be supporting torture, what you said isn't natural.

Gc
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

One is a euphemism for the other, and the other is not.

Simple!

Quote:Actually I'm not supporting torture, but then what was described as torture recently by certain people in Congress wasn't torture,

I'd like to try it on you, fuckhead. Then we can see what your opinion is.

That's exactly the idiotic semantics Brian Fisher used in an interview.

Now I know where you're coming from and I expected nothing less. Do me a favor and shut your trap on morality in the future.

Actually disobedience caused the creation of hell. For someone who doesn't believe there's a hell you sure are fascinated by, it seems to be at the top of your list of things to mention.
