I just posted a response to Diana Butler-Bass’ new blog article on the recent Pew poll indicating that Christians who actively attend church are more likely to approve of torture than those who do not attend church.  Diana looks a bit closer at the polling results than most commentators have, finding that there is a significant difference between evangelical and mainline Christians with respect to torture (mainliners are less approving) and offering an interesting and provocative theological explanation for it.

I found Diana’s post helpful even as I felt that more could be said on the subject (surprise, surprise!).  You can read her article by clicking here. My response may be found by scrolling down a few responses.
