The more you attend Church, the more likely you are so support Torture.

RE: The more you attend Church, the more likely you are so support Torture.
Jesus told his followers in Matthew 5

38"You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' 39"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

Paul said

Romans 12

18If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20"BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."…

The biblical response to evil deeds would seem to be that Christians should be going out of the way to help their enemies. So, instead of war, American Christians should have sent food to Bin Laden.
