Theist numbers increased, democracy failed, government taken over by some religious fanatic. (Every atheists nightmare)

 

You are positioned over a mice-filled pot or cauldron, with your gut blocking the top. A fire is ignited under the pot/cauldron, and so the mice - attempting to escape the lethal heat - tunnel right through your instestines.

There is no doubt that you will burn, but it is the burning of the mortal flesh that we focus on here. Of the many different fires that can be unleashed upon you, this is perhaps the most agonizing, and quite assuredly the most prolonged. After you are bound to the stake, as in many other burnings, rather than surround you with timbers to be burned, I will place piles of hot coals at your feet. These are constantly replenished so as never to allow a respite from the intense heat which they throw forth. You may wonder at the purpose of this, but all too soon you will understand.

The hot coals, instead of incinerating the whole of your body as does a normal burning, causes a slow cooking, if you will, of the flesh. As the outer skin is seared away, the more sensitive tissues underneath are exposed to the heat, and they too are baked to the point of ash. Eventually, all that remains is bone. Making this an even more enduring process is the fact that the pile of coals is only gradually built. This results in you being alive as you witness first your feet, then legs, and finally torso fall victim to the starving embers.

How about this one?

Actual torture method used on heretics back in the dark ages.

Yeah, it's Gamma Tango Foxtrot Oscar for me. I'd bog off to Sweden or Japan faster than you could say "Fight or Flight."

I'm serious about that. If something happens to extend the Bush regime I'm TFO of here. I'll send you a postcard from Akihabara.

Sweden's probably worse than America with the Islamists gaining power and the PC elites not only denying the problem themselves but making every effort to block and demonize those who do recognise it.

Japan's a good choice though!

 

I have a kid to take care of so I would have to get used to the metric system then.
