Everyone will torture another person given the right circumstances without exception and not get too bleeding heart about it. Hell, even Jesus says that he will torture people and that he will love doing it. And all gods torture people. So if you are religious are you saying that you will refuse to do what your favorite deity commands you to do and risk being tortured yourself?

Cops torture people. Soldiers torture people. Criminals will sometimes torture people. Religious people torture people. Atheists torture people. Parents will torture their own children. Children will torture their own parents. Wives and husbands torture each other. And you will be happy to torture someone if the conditions are right, especially if you could get away with it and maybe be rewarded for doing it.
