What do we stand for? Torture?
(1) No we didn't.

(2) Darn right!

Here is the line of thought pushed by yikesamillion:

15 Saudis and a handful of other Arabs attak the US.

Ergo

We torture Iraqi's who had nothing to do with it, as revenge.

Add in "biblical scriptures" and presto, you're a wingnut!

I correctly quoted the Biblical scriptures that promote retaliation. You are a self-claimed atheist; so therefore you are the one that is blinded. You walk in darkness and will never be saved if you continue on the wrong path.

May you and the Lord someday, somehow, find each other.

God bless you.
LOL, you go right ahead & keep thinking that. Oh the irony of it all!!!

God and I hang out on a regular basis. Cool Guy. He likes watching football, long walks on the beach, and banana cream pie. He told me personally, that "Thou that shall not believe in me, Thou shall go to hell". Scared me out of my wits. I believe.

Well, besides what's obviously wrong with it, the terrorists also believe they are the ones getting "revenge" on us. And frankly, their case for believing it is a lot stronger than ours.

I adhere to the Biblical scriptures, and they correctly promote retaliation in such cases as murder and torture.

Who cares if they are not military? Who cares if they are civilians? They are still criminals, end of story.

Why shouldn't they be subject to revenge or torture? What do you propose doing, tapping their hands and kissing their cheeks?

Being they are not American citizens and are terrorists that have plotted to kill people and-or destroy structures, I certainly do not want them to be granted Constitutional rights under our justice system and have them over here in the United States.

You better listen to him. He knows best. He knows God more than you. God must hang at his house also. You are a blinded fool that is no where as moral superior as us. You better take your blinded ass and go find the lord. If you don't find him by the time you die the lord will sentence you to hell!

That's the problem right there. The Biblical scriptures are by and for psychotics. Get your head out of your ass long enough to get a breath of fresh air, and you might make some moral progress.

Who is "they"? We tortured anybody we felt like, including taxi drivers.

In fact, we tortured this dude to death, and he was innocent:

Dilawar (torture victim) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If your silly little religion has room for torturing innocents because someone who looks like him harmed someone who looks like you, then you're all far more morally stunted that I previously thought.
