Good Friday post

So on the day of remembrance of the crucifixion of the Lord, this stupid quote popped in my head...

"Because my attitude is that if we capture an enemy combatant in the battlefield -- or we can use Osama bin Laden -- who may have information about a pending attack. You know what, I don't have any problem taking his head sticking it underwater and scaring the living daylights out of him and making him think we're drowning him," declared Hannity, "and I'm a Christian."

- Sean Hannity

/facepalm

I got this quote from watching Countdown and it has been bothering me for a while.
This Hannity character is truly pathetic.

Honestly....how can you say that as a Christian? If water boarding is ok then so is crucifixion, right Sean? Right? Jesus died for you so that you can have a huge house and call for the torture of possibly innocent people in order to protect it? Right? Right? Not that it matters at all whether those at Gitmo are innocent or not, since torture of anyone is evil and wrong. Oh and as a "Christian" you would know that in being persecuted for your faith, you are blessed. But it seems to me that you have forfeited that blessing in order to keep your wealthy lifestyle safe.

Luke 9:24 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

remember that one

I don't even know what to say anymore....
