Anyways, whatever is the worst form of torture or most painful death... whoever inflicted that is worse than Yahweh. I'm not moved by greater number of deaths.
Number of deaths sort of work against the viciousness of torture. Viciousness of totuure requires commitment of attention, effort and resource to the individual victim; while maximizing number of death requires economizing on individual attention, effort and resource per death.
No, water boarding is the equivalent of bopping with a feather pillow next to some of the tortures invented in history. Even Crucifixion is hardly more than a slap on the wrist. Persians would execute high ranking officials who committed treason by literally letting maggots that grew out of the victim's feces eat the victim alive over several weeks.
