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.”

 Frank says:

I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
