Torture

Who Would Jesus Torture?

Pew:

More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified.

Even when I was a practicing Catholic, I always questioned why the symbol of Christianity was a man being tortured to death in one of the most brutal forms of execution imaginable. Christ's death isn't so much the point as his resurrection, no? Just one of many unanswered questions that drove me from the ranks of organized religion.
