Church Folks for a Better America has issued an Open Letter to Alberto Gonzales encouraging him to repent and uphold human rights. The letter is signed by a list out of Who's Who in Religion in America -- minus the Religious Right.
There aren't any shades of gray for Christians about the use of torture. There's no doubt that Jesus stands with the victims of torture, not with the bystanders or the perpetrators.
Why have Richard Land, Al Mohler, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and D. James Kennedy been so silent about this issue?

The Religious "Right" has for a long time jaded me on Christianity. Thank you, Dr. Prescott, for showing me that not all Christians are like the Robertson/Phelps/Falwell group.
Kate,
Thanks for the link. It is a very good article.
