Certainly a far cry from the Christian teaching which seems to be more a justification for ideas which do not originate in the Gospel but in our fallen selves and the culture around us. Did you hear about the recent study which shows that Christians are more likely than no-Christians to approve of the use of torture? Sorry, but that does not come from the Gospel. It is rationalization. We are good at it, not as Christians but as humans. A little contrary preaching can't hurt. Thanks. Very nice!
