I do not think that you are representative of all Christians so no, I wasn't trying to condemn Christians. The desire for torture goes against what Jesus taught. You might not like that but it does. As far as Job, I thought that Christians followed the New Testament.
I'm not representative of all Christians, nor do I desire to be. I haven't tried to defend torture either, what I've been defending is the right of Christians to protect themselves, just as others have a right to do. I'm against torture but, the enhanced interrogation that was described By the CIA to me wasn't torture. Like I stated earlier, the Taliban and ISIL live and practice torture, if the CIA has done no more than what they described then they haven't approached the evil of those groups.
I've never disagreed with the OP as to the percentages of Christians who supported torture. I have my own thoughts on that but most here are to young to know what it means to be in a war.

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.
