Hahaha, this is gonna be a shitstorm.
I'm totally the stereotypical anti-torture, anti-Iraq war, anti-death penalty, pro-equality secular atheist.
I loved The Last Temptation of Christ, since it was an artistic exploration of the gospel and alternative ideas, with a great score by Peter Gabriel, but I thought the Passion of the Christ was torture-porn just like Saw or Hostel.
I think this article was worded horribly and was unnecessarily inflammatory, since the statistics themselves are inflammatory enough. But I guess somebody's gotta say these things, since the majority of articles covering these issues paint us atheists as hedonists with no morals. I feel that without an afterlife, we really need to make the best of this one, so we shouldn't all murder and bomb and torture each other.
