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

[Nope]

I have said and will continue to say torture is not good and should not be done, not just by Christians but everyone.

Good. We agree and I am honestly glad.

I have a question for you, can or would you torture yourself?

That is a hard question. I like to think that I would never hurt anyone but frightened people can lash out in ways that they normally wouldn't. That doesn't mean that their actions are right, but it is understandable why sometimes other wise good people do things that are reprehensible.

The problem is that we aren't talking about an emotionally distraught parent or individual who has temporarily acted out of character in the hopes of saving someone. We are talking about a government, which has a lot of power, using torture.

There is evidence that we tortured innocent people. Even if we get some information, how do we know that the person isn't just trying to stop the pain? We can never view the information as reliable. It also hurts the way that other countries view us and will probably cause more hatred toward us.

There is also the bigger question, at what point are we no longer the good guys? How long can you act like the bad guys and still consider yourself good?

One question that actually should frighten all Americans...Do you really trust a government that has crossed the lines to justify torturing people to not decide at one point that it will torture you also?
