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

[Nope]

Let me ask you this question, do you really believe Christ would not allow us to defend ourselves against mean people who are being plain old mean and, yet allow nonbelievers to protect themselves from the very same people?

I apologize, I thought this was a rhetorical question.

If you ask if I think that you as a human being should have the right to defend yourself. Of course, I think that you should defend yourself and others.

Please remember, I don't believe that Jesus was god and I doubt that he even existed so asking me what I think that he requires from you is a bit like me asking you what Loki wants me to do.

However, according to your own beliefs, Jesus turned the cheek and met death with little resistance and even forgave his killers. I think that your Jesus would not approve of his followers torturing people
