4/30 Who would Jesus torture? Answer here:
\_ http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/30/religion.torture/index.html
(According to religious people)
\_ Nazis. http://www.badkarmaproductions.com/jc/?p=35
(According to religious people)
\_ God tortures unrepentant sinners -- see references to Hell.
\_ This is controversial, to say the least.
\_ Not to mention, but it is complete and total blasphemy
for people to assume the place of God. "Judge not, lest
ye be judged". I'm beginning to think that the most rabid
bible-thumping Christians are actually serving Satan. |

The Washington Region Religious Campaign Against Torture rallied on Capitol Hill in March 2008. The Washington Region Religious Campaign Against Torture rallied on Capitol Hill in March 2008. 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. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Pew Research Center survey of 742 American adults conducted April 14-21. It did not include analysis of groups other than white evangelicals, white non-Hispanic Catholics, white mainline Protestants and the religiously unaffiliated, because the sample size was too small. torture against suspected terrorists in order to gain important information can often be justified, sometimes be justified, rarely be justified, or never be justified?" advertisement Roughly half of all respondents -- 49 percent -- said it is often or sometimes justified. religious group most likely to say torture is never justified was Protestant denominations -- such as Episcopalians, Lutherans and Presbyterians -- categorized as "mainline" Protestants, in contrast to evangelicals. Just over three in 10 of them said torture is never justified. A quarter of the religiously unaffiliated said the same, compared with two in 10 white non-Hispanic Catholics and one in eight evangelicals. |

That's the concept behind the latest biweekly web comic by Eric Peterson and Ethan Nicolle and published by Bad Karma Productions. The story begins with God returning to heaven after a prolonged absence and Jesus gets into a fight with Him over whether or not he should be stopping suffering on the Earth. God, who is ambivalent toward the suffering of people and doesn't want to intervene in the affairs of mortals, leaves again and Jesus runs off to kick Nazi ass and prevent WWII. May 30th, 2009 at 6:37 pm I wonder if Jesus finds it entertaining. I have serious doubts that he would want to be portrayed this way, even in the comics. He doesn't get offended when someone makes fun of him, though, because he understands humans a lot better than most of them think. Those who do, however, will be required to explain why, when the time comes. |
