Read the most interesting comment on slashdot today:

WWJT: Who would Jesus Torture?

Although some "Christians" might argue the following logic:

God allowed Jesus to be tortured.
God = Jesus.
Therefore, Jesus allowed Jesus to be tortured.

Golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Jesus says: Do unto others as I (God) would do unto (others) Jesus.
Therefore, Torture others, coz Jesus says it's okay.

When leaders in the Pentagon and Justice Department failed to take the high road and walked away from the Geneva Convention at Abu Gharib and Guantanemo Bay, they began walking the morally dubious path.

Bush's moral certainty excuses immoral activity. Some could compare it to bin Laden's moral certainty that calls for innocent slaughter. Committing crimes in the name of God doesn't make it less wrong.

I was thinking of adapting the 'Christian logic' for my message board signature, but it was a bit too long really...

There was something else I was going to blog today, but I've forgotten already. Oh well, maybe later.
