It is hard to resist sarcasm. With our US government now transitioning from one based upon Christian Principles to one based on the Quran, it seems to have become fashionable lately to rename ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ as torture.
We must accept the fact that what is sure to follow this revision of terms is Persecution of the good Christians working for the Bush administration, because nobody who has been accused of practicing enhanced interrogation techniques will ever be convicted of war crimes.
Fine, let’s call it torture and let’s accept that Christians, like Jesus Christ before them, will be unjustly brought to trial and face death for their acts of torture. When this happens, let us Prayerfully give thanks, taking solace in how it reminds us that persecution is precisely what defines Christians as a great Religious Movement.
Even so, the elect can take further solace in knowing the convicted are saved and at Peace with God. If the US detention facility official who is conducting torture does not enjoy torturing the terrorist prisoner, it is completely illogical to think that he is engaged in anything other than the routine extraction of intelligence information from heartless, bloodthirsty murderers.
The fact of the matter is, we are compelled by our Christian Faith to perform whatever uncomfortable acts are necessary to prevent islamojihadists from committing mass murder. And if Good Christians are brought to trial and persecuted simply because they sought to uncover these muslim deceptions, we must accept that as God’s Will.
And through all of this, let’s not forget that torture does work. The liberal mainstream media would have you believe that it doesn’t. But of course, they have that wrong, too.
For an excellent example, look no further than to the case of Sayed Imam Al-Sharif, ak Dr. Fadl.  As we all know, before now, no muslim has ever repudiated the terrorist acts of al-Qaeda and for this reason, we now clearly understand that Islam is not a peace loving religion. However, none other than the ideological founder of Islamic Jihad, after being tortured as a prisoner of the Egyptian authorities for over a decade, Dr. Fadl finally broke, repudiating his islamofascist legacy:
In a prison cell south of Cairo a repentant Egyptian terrorist leader is putting the finishing touches to a remarkable recantation that undermines the Muslim theological basis for violent jihad and is set to generate furious controversy among former comrades still fighting with al-Qaida.
Of course, this common criminal doesn’t believe a word of it, and would gladly go back to slaughtering Christians if given the chance. But that isn’t the point. My point is this repudiation of violent islamic extremeism would not have been possible without God’s magnificant instrument of torture! Now, for the first time, we have real hope Obama bin Laden will fear what has happened to his colleague, heed the words of this torture victim, lay down his arms, and surrender peaceflly to the nearest authorities.
The next time someone trys to tell you torture is useless, tell them about how a bloodthirsty jihadist in prison called Dr. Fadl, somewhere around or near the Nile River, is suddenly singing peace and love like a purple martin sitting on a 20 foot pole.

But in the name of war on terrorism, many innocent people have been tortured. go to see what the evildoers Algerian military police (DRS) are doing with people just supected to belong to terrorist groups or even to political parties other than those who support the Algerian dictatorial regime.

You are one of the reasons I’m an atheist.

Brother or Sister astranavigo-
You are an atheist because God has chosen not to illuminate the darkness of your soul with His Grace. It humors Him for you to think this was some decision on your part.

“[...]Christians, like Jesus Christ before them, will be unjustly brought to trial and face death for their acts of torture.”
Laughable.
Who was it that Jesus tortured again? Persecuted, perhaps, but persecuted for torturing? I think not.
I’ve often thought that “Christians” these days are not following Christ. If they were, they’d be nicer people. And this is just another example. This goes in the “Westboro Baptist” pile.

Anyone who, by default, believes God to be on their side is dangerous (and naive). People who are willing to torture other people, and justify it with God being on their side are supremely dangerous. Sorry to say it, but if you are to be taken seriously, then you are at least as bad as any religious extremist, regardless which religion.
Justifying torture as a means for preventing mass murder gives you a weak case at best. What if the person that you’re torturing is innocent? And what if (s)he is herself guilty of torturing other people? In that case the person is not so different from you. What if you were taken captive by your enemy – would there be a reason why they shouldn’t torture you?
Torturing is barbaric, and yet I cannot help a tiny inclination to agree with you that sometimes the cause justifies the brutal means. I too fear religious or ideological extremists terrorizing a peaceful society, like was done in the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 or the twin-tower attacks in 2001. However, resorting to such barbaric actions feels like reducing myself and my society. I would like to think that I am / we are better than this, and can protect ourselves without resorting to such perverse methods as torture is.

So much for a merciful god hey… This is ONE of the reasons I am an atheist.
Absolutely insane.

Dear Brother or Sister ThisIsSoSick
Thank you for contributing to my award-winning interblog! The ONE and ONLY reason why you are an Atheist is because God has chosen to forsake your soul to the Hellfire. He has Chosen not to welcome your particular soul to His eternal bliss. For He creates many, but few are called. (Thes 21:16-17).
Hope this clarifies

I’m Christian, and I’m also liberal. That’s not to say I have everything figured out. Occasionally I feel that my political beliefs and my religious beliefs are not in perfect harmony, but I certainly feel that my political actions are far more in line with the teachings of Christ than your misguided hatred. If you can honestly say are living your life in the image of Christ, then you are sadly off-base. He was peaceful, miraculous, and kind. He committed no such acts of terrorism, slander, or prejudice. Take a look at yourself, you’re giving Christians a bad name.
