In a way Jesus did sanction torture, by allowing it to happen when he had the choice to not be crucified but decided to go ahead and be crucified. Jesus as the Son of God, or God in the form of man, could have said no and walked away, disappeared, risen into the clouds, whatever he wanted to do. But chose instead to be tortured to death. Does he approve it? No, probably not. But by allowing it, I believe he did sanction torture. Not that scumbag terrorists (or self-righteous, I’m morally superior to you, people) who want to kill us (or have us killed by terrorists) have much in common with Jesus anyway.
I appreciate Frank’s take on the situation, because laughter is the best medicine for an Administration that definitely takes itself way too seriously. His blog is one of the first and last blogs I read each day. And I think Jesus found it humorous also.
