    America can't take it anymore

    To the Editor of Salon,

    Good to read that some military and CIA people are finally starting to react against the use of torture but where are the so-called American " CHRISTIAN " churches in all of this?

    Let's see it is not ok morally to drink, gamble,have sex with minors and many other lesser evils but not a word about torture! Also, not a word about the American murder of millions of people in Vietnam,Cambodia,Somalia,Haiti, Panama,Afghanistan, Iraq and secretly in Syria and Iran.

    Where are all those " Born Again" Evangelicals and Episcopalians?

    What massive hypocricy,what head in the sand and let's only deal with the easy issues.These so-called believers have conducted and / or permitted the worse and most immoral actions in history. Islam and Buddism etc., are way above Christianity in moral terms.The " ANTICHRIST " has taken over Christianity and these fools are blind to it!
