Great topic Martin.

I disagree with the question/poll format, though. Belief in God, IMO, has nothing to do with this.

Surprisingly, it does. But that's because you see more believers in certain regions and you also see more torture in those same regions. It doesn't necessarily mean however that they think torture is fine because they believe in God. This poll might help answer that question.

torture is wrong, whether you believe in god is irrelevent for me.

 

[Seven]

I just explained to you why it could be relevant.

You can't say it is already.

 

[Salvo]

what religion or god condones torture?

 

[Seven]

Is that a serious question? There have been many religions that condoned torture. In some it was even absolutely necessary.

torture would make Del Piero name Ranieri as his best coach ever
whatever info you get from torture will always be unreliable

"Torture is any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions."


There have been tons of religions that sacrificed enemy soldiers.

When torture and religion come up in one sentence my first thought is about christianity and Spanish inquisition.

There have been tons of religigious people, who were wrong, that sacrificed enemy soldiers.

Religions don't sacrifice anything. It's the people

 

[Martin]

Not justified whatsoever. Verynine's thread was a challenging question, this one isn't imo.

Glad you think so, that means you understand what's going on here.

It's the God vs morality debate, swag.

Oh realy? On of the most popular religions today, christianity, certainly doesnt have anything against sacrifice, just read the bible. You will have plenty of direct quotes from god himself asking for sacrifices.

that's like saying 'guns don't kill people, it's the people using them who kill people'

 

[Fred]

Well it is the people using them that kill people. I've never heard of a gun killing someone by itself.

 

[David01]

off course but without a gun people won't be able to shoot anyone with a gun
and on topic without religions people won't be able to torture or kill anyone in the name of God
you get my point
