Who Would Jesus Torture?

At RedState: Jesus would have waterboarded.

It’s likely even Jesus would have OK’d water boarding if it would have saved his Mom. He would’ve done the same to save his Dad, or any one of His disciples.

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor.

Among the other claims in this bizarre article: Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation because he was a Christian.

That’s highly doubtful.

Lincoln didn’t make things easy for historians. He was reticent and often inscrutable about his faith. Moreover, his ideas changed over time, as he dealt with the deaths of two sons and the pressure of the presidency amid the Civil War.

Most historians agree on this much: Lincoln never was baptized, never joined a church, and rarely, if ever, talked about Jesus.

“He was a religious man always,” Lincoln’s widow, Mary, said after his death, “but he was not a technical Christian.”
