Has the group NRCAT been introduced here yet?

[annabanana]

The National Religious Campaign Against Torture ( http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=451 )

Since its formation in January 2006, over 280 religious groups have joined NRCAT,
http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=59

Their primary purpose is the elimination of torture, and justice for those who have been tortured.

They are a worthwhile group and deserve support.

Discussion in this forum often swirls around some exciting vortex like "Religion is the major cause of the world's problems" or "If you're religious and not a fundamentalist, then you must still be an anti-scientific simpleton who's enabling fundamentalists" or "The Pope is a Nazi, and Hitler was a Catholic, and don't bother me with evidence to the contrary"

But thanks for the link! :D

5. Or it becomes a place

where people respond to reasoned arguments with a random google search with no understanding of what the actual content is. Hell, anyone can google "Hitler wasn't a catholic" and get some hits, but it doesn't change the facts.

6. Hey, unless you have an HD quality video of Hitler taking communion...

then OBVIOUSLY he wasn't a Catholic. I don't see why you have a problem with this standard of proof. :P

7. Oh, you're right

because I googled it, and it seems Hitler wasn't even a Christian. I'm so silly.

"But Hitler was not a Catholic, as many people think, nor a Christian at all. Please do not perpetuate this myth. What he really believed in was a sort of Nordic/Teutonic paganism, with a strong streak of Occultism. But more than anything that could be called religious, he believed in Aryan supremacy--and especially the supremacy of Adolf Hitler."

It works for so many things...

4. It's sad that torture is an issue that now has to be addressed in the US.

I thought we were passed that.
