You are kidding yourself if you think you would not consider torture under a circumstance wherre your family was about to be killed. (in fact, reading your posts about guns and survivalism and then imapgining you in a room with a gun in your hand and a guy htat knew how to stop the death of your family and won't tell you how leads to a pretty easy to predict result). As a matter of policy I think the answer is easy. As a mtter of personal choice to rptect my family and homwtonw? the choice is much more difficult. Plus, the larger and more immediate the threat the more diffoicult the choice beocmes.

If not, then what lines are you not willing to cross to save your family? Would you cut off fingers? Would you cut out his eyes? Would you advocate passing a law where certain domestic crime suspects could be tortured for information? For example a child is kidnapped, and the suspect is caught, and it is believed she is hidden away and perhaps still alive? (this has happened). You, holder of the Melchizedek Priesthood, who values eternal life above all other things, what manner of depravity would you sink to? I suspect you will not answer these questions. |

I cannot see myself ever raping or forcibly having sex with another person. So that one is easy. The most I could see myself doing is beating somebody to a bloody pulp, but then again, without the exact circumstances being forced upon me, it would be a dishonest thing for me to speculate on.

After observing your areas of aggression, this seems unlikely of you.

This is a question of what is moral. If I had the physical prowess and knowledge to assault you and kill you, who cares? That doesn't mean I favor it. |

And you would have us believe you wouldn't use it, when you demonstrate aggression in fields where you can?
