A sop to the Christians

MANIFESTO

On this National Day of Prayer, I can't help but think of something DarLucky sent along a few days ago:
The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.

More than half of people who attend services at least once a week—54 percent— said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released [last] Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
I assume that fundamentalists believe that such activities are justified as long as they're meted out to infidels. Nevertheless, any prayers I make today will have to do with hoping that the holy rollers figure out exactly what their "religion" is based on.
