Yes I know the sentence is stilted. What's your religion and what's your stand on torture? Is your stand on torture due to your religion orlack of, or any other factors?

My stand on torture has nothing to do with my religion. I stand firmly against haming another human being on purpose for any reason.

my stand on torture has nothing to do with religion in any way, shape or form.. I can see justifications for it, I can even see a situation where I might employ it, but historically, it's never been truly effective. All it ever seems to do, rather than get at the truth, is cause people to confess just about anything to end the pain.

I don't believe in punishment by torturing. I believe in God's natural law of causes and consequences which is more natural to make people that we all are One. What we do to others we do to ourselves. However, it is still a good practice to keep the system continue to have standards to prevent people from doing wrongs. It can detention with close monitor and take them to community for services until it is observable that their behaviors has changed and will not do wrong again.

well i am a Muslim and i know that there is no place for torture in my religion. it teaches peace, love, tolerance and patience. there are definitely punishments for theives, murderers, adultry sin and people who violates the social, ethical, country or religious laws. such people are punished in every religion, even by atheists. these punishments are neccessary to keep a check on unwanted activities.
no religion teaches violence and torture.

If they found the man who took little Maddie McCann, and he wouldn't say where she was, I think the police should use all force necessary to get him to spill.
In conclusion, torture should only be used when the benefits outweigh the bad effects it has on the person. Keeping in mind it should never be used on a good person, only evil people.

To have "mutual respect", means that the groups would have to find the other groups' practices and customs has having equal value to their practices and customs. I can't see that ever happening. Since there is continuous conflict even between sects of "Christians, Muslims, Jews, and even Atheists", how will those who are outside of those groups ever be valued?

It seems that Bush and his buddies, the devout bunch, believe that torture is justified when it is the good guys, the ones that god truly loves, who do it.

i'm christian but i dont think that effects my answer~in fact, i think my answer is opposite from what most christians would say~
i think it's only justified when they have info you need that will save the lives of others or they were threatening your loved ones (or both) i guess its only barely ok (and not super bad stuff)
