You posted a poll implying you had more to fear from Christians because a greater majority wouldn't say torture was never justified. There were no qualifications.

More to fear from Christians than Atheists. Atheists, the topic of this thread, is the qualification. Let me clarify again, I am refering to torture as policy. I gave you the mail truck example, which you dodged,

You think torture is justified "In some circumstances" but not murder. Why is murder not justified in some circumstances?

About whether FBI agents should be allowed to torture graffitti vandals? I figured you were just having a bad day and I ignored it out of charity.

OK, let's consider that question. "Should the FBI be allowed to torture graffiti vandals?" Imagine it on a poll. What kind of results would you expect?

My expectation would be well over 90 percent against in all categories, and frankly, I think, the Christian categories would have a higher percent against than the atheists if you phrase the question that way.

Why is murder not justified in some circumstances?

Because murder is always wrong. Do you know what murder is?

And let me point out that is not the basis of the poll you posted.
