They were asked how often they attend services, and then asked, “Do you think the use of torture against suspected terrorists in order to gain important information can often be justified, sometimes be justified, rarely be justified, or never be justified?”

…

Of those who attend services seldom or never, only 42% thought [torture] was often or sometimes justified . . .

. . . more than 6 out of 10 white evangelicals believe that [torture is often justified].

The article is about a correlation between membership in a dogmatic religion and the support of American use of torture. The more dogmatic the religion, the greater the support for torture . . . even though it’s been shown repeatedly to be an inferior way of obtaining accurate information.

And from the Wikipedia article, if you look at the statistics, 15% identify with no religion. A total of 1.6% of American adults identify as atheist or agnostic. Do you understand the difference?

It seems you and Sarah have one thing in common . . . your degree of reading comprehension.

Round 1850 he woulda been the Democrat going “Abolish slavery?” You have 32% of the North and less than 10% of the South with you.”

Round what, 1910, it woulda been “women vote? Give me a break! You got like 31% of men with you.”

And yet progress still happens, in spite of the Crowleys of the ages.

I am sure being out front and dealing with the REAL press would somehow be a big fat cakewalk for her. NOT.

I have seen her book being advertised for less than five bucks, btw. The Knockoff Parody, called Going Rouge is selling for five cents less than her book price, too.

Yeah, she’s REAL popular.

George Bush and Sarah Palin are the darlings of the fringe party formerly known as Republicans. Until that party sheds its attraction to nutters, it will continue to play to a dwindling “base”. Let Sarah hawk her book and keep talking her nonsense. Eventually even the densest supporter will “get it”, if they pay attention long enough.

Good thread, Terry. Hey Anonplus – I agree with you!

Indeed. I think Palin is dangerous to our well-being. Obama less so since he cannot seem to get anything done, despite owning Congress.

Palin is a complete nutter. Any party that embraces her has a death wish.

Look what that bastard got away with. I may be conservative but I’d rather see a conservative demo in the front office than someone that I have yet to be convinced is stable. Sarah ain’t it.
