Got this quote in an email from Sojourners today:
"Not surprisingly, the poll data showed that white evangelicals were somewhat more permissive toward torture than other religious groups."
This quote is from the New York Times. The Times may be biased. Oh, heck, The Times is most probably biased.
But still, how can it be "not surprising" that people who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ are "somewhat more permissive toward torture." Is it "not surprising" to The New York Times, or to the rest of us?
And if it's not surprising to the rest of us, are we outraged?

actually.. it's horrifying.. but not suprising.. seems to me that as a group.. they conflict very much with what Jesus teaches us to do... sigh
