If you want them to tell you they're a witch, or an infidel or whatever, then they'll admit to that (regardless of if you did it or not) to make the pain stop. They will tell you what they think you want to know, in order to make you stop.IRL, every person burnt at the stake after 'confessing' to witchcraft admitted said witchcraft under torture. Seeing as witchcraft doesnt exist, that's saying something.If 'admitting' (making up) a story that you suckle your familiar at your nipple, and ride broomsticks at night makes the scary guy stop cutting off your fingers, then that's exactly what you'll tell them to make him stop cutting off your fingers.And of course, then there are the fanatics prepared to die for the cause. If you're OK with torture, that is going to get pretty naughty word up when that guy runs out of fingers and toes and you're still cutting him up. Who is the evil one then?Torture is highly ineffective, immoral, inhumane and downright evil. No good person contemplates it. Only evil people, and the occasional desperate neutral person (on the darker side of neutral) even consider it, and even then, very few actually engage in it.</blockquote>
