Christians For Torture?

I've really stuggled over the past couple of days, meditating on wether or not to blog on this or not... I was afraid it would add to the continuing slanging match between 'liberals' and 'conservatives', but have come to believe that this is too disturbing and unquieting not to point it out to others. But... there is a very disturbing conversation among 'Christian' conservatives in the U.S. at the moment.

I was pointed to this 'press release' or positioning article by the ultra conservative group 'Traditional Values Coalition' (TVC), by the blog of Andrew Sullivan. The TVC is calling for Churches and other affliated organisations to support President Bush in passing a bill to 'redefine' bodily injury under the Geneva convention. Read more here...

Interestingly the TVC are also 'rallying around the pope' and replying YES to the question "Should other religions speak out against Muslim violence?"... in that case I would like to speak out against the violence of the Traditional Values Coalition, being conducted in the name of Jesus.

If you wish to email them please feel free... they are at mail@traditionalvalues.org

The War On Terror must be fought on all fronts

That last sentence is particularly poignant. Amen.
