Heeyy...I got tortured and so can you...
There is a post on a blog called God’s Politics that is about how Jesus would of been against torturing people. Something about Jesus loving too much to inflict pain on a person or something like that:
Based on some responses to my last post, and a new poll by Faith in Public Life and Mercer University, it seems there are many evangelicals who believe that there are in fact times when torture is necessary and proper. I am assuming these people also believe it is at times necessary and proper for Christians to do the torturing?
According to the poll, 57% of white evangelicals in the South believe that torture is often or sometimes justified. Another 16% believe that it can be justified in rare occasions. Only 22% believe that it is never justified. This is surprising because only 48% of the general population believe that torture can be justified. How can this be?
Simple…Jesus was tortured in our place, so we can spread the torturing to others. Why do you think we celebrate Easter? Do you honestly believe we do it for that giant of a rabbit? Please. Everyone knows that the largest rabbit on record was two inches shy of being a midget.
No, we celebrate Easter because that is the day Jesus took one for the team and said “Hey, you can torture me.” And as He was dying from being tortured (part of God’s great plan) He said “Go forth and torture men in my name” or something like that. I mean I’m sure that’s what He meant to say if He was allowed to catch His breath. I don’t think He understood how physically demanding torture is. You have to be in the best shape of your life in order not to crack.
Listen the moral of this story is you are wrong God’s Politics. Jesus loves torture and it is in the Bible. You just have to get the right copy.

That didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it would - says:
[...] you sir. That is exactly what I was trying to get across. Jesus is for torture only if it is safe and used as a last resort. [...]
