[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Torture for the sake of viciousness or even punishment is not the same as a very limited procedure used to acquire vital information about real threats. Thousands or even millions may die if you do not get the information. Or even getting information on the organization which carried out mass murders so you can prevent future situations.

As for Jesus, he was no terrorist.

Evil torture is raping and killing someone in front of family members. It is beheading someone on video for the world to see and fear. It is abducting children and selling them into slavery or forcing them to marry some terrorist slime-ball. Etc. There is a difference.

There is a difference.

Probably is, the Bible says nothing about it as far as I know so I guess we just have to go the way we see it.

As left that other site said: the kind of torture they use today, waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and loud Rock Music is nothing compared to how they used to do it.

So a lot would depend on ones definition of torture the dictionary would be all but useless.
