I see comments in the margins, some theorizing on the role of the church, others commenting on how human torture is.. - while overlooking the point the video: The US governments financing gangsters and co-authoring murder with the implicit support of its citizens, who then ironically ask: "why do they hate us"? Or should Salvadorians love them?
Thanks for the video Jonathan

Damn straight. I'm never compelled to torture anyone. To say that torture is part of human nature is to say that humanity is inhumane. Not so much an observation of the futility of existence, as it is an observation of the ridiculousness of the ideas we're intended to accept despite their blatant logical fallacies. As an atheist, i think Mr. Christs historically attributed advice is pretty valid.
Don't be dicks to one another, and things will improve.
It may actually be just that simple.

What's your point?

Was it the evil MOOOSLEMS or the evil Commies who killed all those people in El Salvador?
-
From Romero's perspective, to admit that evil is natural to humanity would imply a blasphemic materialistic worldview.

@supercondo And you are a waste of oxygen and should be publicly executed for being so unbelievably stupid.

doesn't seem to be in my nature, i've never felt the urge to do it.

@NancyWSullivan Bush-Chaney would have had Archbishop Romero assassinated-Obama probably would not but would not lift a finger to bring BC to justice if they did.

@hassan691987 You asked about the scenes from the movie with Chomsky speaking and then someone (acting as ROmero) in prison listening to someone being tortured. The film is "Romero", with Raúl Juliá as Romero. He actually wore Romero's own glasses in the film, which I'd encourage you to watch.

@thebalancetheory1212 - "and in many cases are opposed only by religious leaders." As it should be.

You cannot really alienate sadistic activities from the humanity. Torture on some level will always be something that humans do. Its apparently in our nature for good or bad.

Well, if torture is such an intrinsic part of human nature, then you shouldn't be surprised nor upset if it happens to you--anymore than you would be surprised or upset by something as natural as rain.
