Watching someone being tortured to death is helpful?

I've got to say that this post just told me everything I need to know about you.

I'm not a Christian, and the movie is about watching a man be tortured to death. I understand that Christians find this inspirational because it's Jesus Christ (whom they believe to be God incarnate) taking the sins of mankind upon himself, but please understand that to someone who doesn't believe that it just appears grotesque.

Are you aware that Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum?

It's also pro-God, but I haven't had any problem posting about being an atheist. I would describe myself as conservative in most areas, but leaning Libertarian on some issues. Does that disqualify me from posting on this board?

Don't worry. Nobody is gonna go Jihad on your butt.

Consider this, if someone truly believes in Jesus, Salvation, Heaven and Hell, the most evil thing they could do is to resist sharing the Gospel with you. Think about it. How much would they have to hate you in order to not warn you?

Then let me be a little more clear, FReepers generally don't take kindly to those who promote a leftist worldview (e.g. the complete rejection of Judeo-Christian teachings).

Trolls often don't recognize the problems until it's too late.

People who describe themselves as you do are typically liberal anarchists and, while they may share some beliefs with conservatives, their reasons for having these beliefs are quite different from the reason conservatives have them.
