A Pew poll shows that:
- 62% of white evangelicals believe torture can sometimes or often be justified. That is the highest of any religious group in the survey. The number is 40% for people unaffiliated with a religious group. 47% of white evangelicals said torture can rarely or never be justified, so that’s something to celebrate.
- People who attend church at least once a week are far more likely to justify torture (54%) than people who who seldom or never attend (42%). What’s with that?
Which group do you think Jesus would vote with?
Are the teachings of Jesus just not sinking in?
Imagine how out of sync I must be with the white evangelical denomination I work for.
