Evangelicals and Torture

Doesn't anyone else think that the last time we should have seen the headline "Church-Goers Like Torture More," should have been several centuries ago? Just another piece of evidence showing how distorted some of those in the evangelical church are from the true teachings of Jesus.

Here is Chris Good from the Atlantic discussing the Pew study:
Evangelicals, according to the survey, are more prone to saying torture is justifiable than members of the nation's other two main Christian groups: so-called "mainline" Protestants and white, non-Hispanic Catholics. Unaffiliateds--a conglomerated group of atheists, agnostics, and those who say their religion is "nothing in particular--support torture the least: 40 percent say it's justifiable often or sometimes.

Notice how atheists and agnostics have a clearer sense of morality. Evangelical Xianity is really making progress these days...
