Interesting stuff...churchgoers are more likely to support torture of suspected terrorists, according to the Pew Research Center.
More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did.
The president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Leith Anderson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
So basically they are hypocrites, but it's not a surprise. These are the same folks that will try to beat demons and homosexuality out of people, sexually molest kids and steal money in the of God. Should we be that shocked of the survey's outcome?

I am forever intrigued by the devout. I would say I'd like to live inside their head for one hour but that's about 59.99 minutes too long.
