LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY rechan)

It makes me sad when elected officials declare that the Most important issue we face today is Not that we've lost over 2,700 soldiesr in Iraq, that Iraq is costing us $2 Billion a week, or any other sort of national security/domestic health related things. No, the thing that is the Most Important We Face is, you guessed it, Gay marriage.

On a semi-related note, where are those who claim they are morally superior when it comes to torture?



Quoting Andrew Sullivan:

If you combine those Christians who think torture is either never or only rarely acceptable, you have 42 percent of Catholics and 49 percent of white Protestants. The comparable statistic of those who are decribed as "secular," which I presume means agnostic or atheist, is 57 percent opposition. In other words, if you are an American Christian, you are more likely to support torture than if you are an atheist or agnostic. Christians for torture: it’s a new constituency. Another part of the Bush legacy.
