If you think about it ... "The Passion of the Christ" does not document

Jesus being tortured ... since he didn't suffer organ failure until he was nailed to the cross ...

1. your point is?

[valerief]

2. I see your point. Thorns in the skull and lugging heavy pieces of wood

are next in the Bush-Cheney torture games. Well, it's no worse than water-boarding.

4. Simpler than that.

By CheneyCo definition, torture is something that causes organ failure. Therefore, anything that does not quite cause organ failure is NOT torture.

7. Thanks, but I already knew that. I was trying to tie in the Jeebus stuff. nt

8. Gotcha -- sorry to be such a lunatic.

The official U.S. stance on torture now just makes me irrational.

3. Bwhahaha!

5. I shut up a religious nut once with that line of reasoning

He was going on about how we needed to torture, and I "agreed" and suggested not only waterboarding but crowns of thorns and whipping him while he lugged a railroad tie around.

The look on his face when I said that was delicious... or sacrelicious.

6. didn't sound like McCain went through that ...

and Jesus didn't renounce his country, right?

9. at least he wasn't water boarded
