haha, we gotta fill top blogs with posts like this! 

@GodlessLiberal - last time I had the medical stuff, it made zach galifinakis’s standup funny

@GodlessLiberal -  That’s a possibility…

Being a druggie is nothing to be proud of.  And it takes a lot of nerve to want government sanction for your drug habit.America is a Christian nation. Our laws must protect virtuous living from drugged out slobs who think nothing of virtue.Big Pharma does not run Congress. Congress passes laws favorable to Wall Street, Big Banking, Big Pharma, Big Real Estate for campaign cash.The entire purpose of Democrat government is to reelect Democrats by establishing a money pipeline from the taxpayers’ pockets to theirs and their cronies under the guise of “social justice”.If druggies weren’t so drugged out, they’d be able see this glaringly obvious detail.

@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Most people take drugs to feel insane. You are insane naturally. My apologies.

@mtngirlsouth - It is the drug users who drive up the cost because of their decadent habits.Thousands and thousands of innocent people are dying in Mexico at the hands of the drug cartels. That blood is on the hands of the US druggies, not law enforcement.Druggies need to give up their insane habit. Then you will see the social costs of their iniquity disappear.At what price are laws no longer worth enforcing?  Think of Jesus being betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, the going rate for human life Roman world.

@mtngirlsouth - If we abolished all laws then we would no longer have any problems. That is what you are saying.Legalizing drugs is a capitulation to evil.  And since when has evil ever gone away after people capitulated to it?

@mtngirlsouth - And I am saying that druggies affect everyone they come into contact with. How could it be any other way?  A person of low character engages in vice of their own free will. Personal immorality taints judgment, brain function, family life and every other aspect of a person’s life.

@mtngirlsouth - Both Peter and Paul preached on the requirement for sobriety. So if you are a real live Christian, that should end the discussion.You can’t be a Christian and be a druggie.Regarding personal morality and the law…Legalization of drugs means that the government sanctions them.  Legalization of prostitution means that the government sanctions it. Legalization of gay marriage means that the government sanctions sodomy.A Christian culture cannot tolerate a government that sanctions immorality.Additionally, government sanction of an activity means that the entire weight of the US government gets behind it.  That means that your private immorality is now my business and the business of everyone.I don’t want everyone’s drug habit to be my business. I don’t want people fornicating with whores to be my business and I don’t want same sex fornication to be my business.

@stuartandabby - There is no equivalence between alcohol and drugs.  Alcohol consumption has been ingrained in Judeo-Christian and almost every culture for millennia.We see from the opium wars in China during 19th and 20th century that legalized drug use is catastrophic.Alcohol abuse is terrible but most societies have been able to manage it.  Adding legalized drugs spells doom.

@mtngirlsouth - You are confusing spirituality with politicsI’ve already addressed that point.

@mtngirlsouth - I have explained myself eloquently.You express the error that free choice is without consequence.God gave mankind laws of conduct in the Ten Commandments.  We can freely choose to follow the law or to break the law.  Following the law brings blessings. Breaking the law brings curses.Mankind was created in the image of God.  As a result the laws that we make for ourselves must reflect God’s will.  Drug abuse is not God’s will. So legalizing drugs would be tantamount to the Jews building the Golden Calf and worshiping it at the foot of Mount Sinai.Druggies may freely engage in their sinful habit. But by doing so they are cursing themselves with the scourge of what drug abuse does.  I don’t want to live in a society that sanctions the curse of a sin that kills the family and condemns children to lives of insanity and misery.That is why drugs must not be legalized.

@mtngirlsouth - Laws are not a matter of religion.  The morality that God gave to the Jews works for all of mankind.Thou shalt not steal, works well in all civil societies.Intolerance of drugs is also a matter of universal morality. It works in all societies. So the idea that legislating morality is bad, doesn’t work. A moral people must have laws that defend them against thieves, pimps and drug pushers.

This is a fairly typical argument of the drug culture to legalise certain drugs like Marijuana. The problem is that because some things are more harmful does not mean we legalise things which are harmful but less so. Tobacco is legal historically as the harm it does (ie potentially killing people) was not recognised until fairly recently. Certainly in the UK great efforts are made to discourage it and if it came new on to the market today it would not be legal. Alcohol is a similar problem drug but is harmless in moderate doses. Unfortunately many people appear unable to do this in the UK and we now have the problem of young people dying of liver damage. However, the historical and political pressure to keep alcohol legal is irresistable as the prohibition lobby found when they had it banned. When it comes to drugs that are illegal like marijuana, I don’t see why we should allow soceity expose more people (especially young people) to things which do them harm (and there is good evidence marijuana harms some people) for no good reason. There are enough harmful things around anyway. Prohibiting drugs does not, of course, stop some people using them anymore than prohibiting speeding stops some people speeding. But the law does provide a barrier and a safety net beyojd which it is unwise to go. The problem is human nature always wants to take that one step further than it is allowed. So whatever we legalise there will be some who want to go into the illegal territory. Legalise marijuana and we’ll have the same discussion over another (more harmful) drug.

Damn good points young man

@mtngirlsouth - don’t you think we have a responsibility to (especially) young people to protect them from things which are potentially harmful to them. I have to deal with people who have blown their minds through drugs and I tell you  they have harmed themselves. 

@mtngirlsouth - of course, the problem is with people. That’s why we need laws and policemen to enforce them. However much education we give people there will always be people who want to break the law. I mean, however much you educated people not to park illegally, do you think you could get them to do it without traffic cops?

@firetyger - the problem is that the choices people make often harm others.

@musterion99 - Christianity teaches that life is sacred. That means that medicines are in the realm of excellence.

@mtngirlsouth - Other people are affected by drugs. A drug habit of any kind is pernicious. It kills personal potential, ruins relationships and ruins children.We are to take our pleasure from God, not through intoxication. A drug habit is a worthless vice. Each druggie has a profound effect upon everyone around him.

@GodlessLiberal - Protestants like @mtngirlsouth think like atheists as I pointed out in a recent blog. And that is probably the biggest challenge that Christianity faces.  Neither the Protestant nor the atheist is grounded in any kind of absolute truth.You folks just make it up as you go along.That’s why when you see a vice you like you simply hallucinate alternate realities and viola, everything is okay.Catholic tradition, which goes all the way back to Abraham places great value on virtuous living and has zero tolerance for sloth-based vices like drug use.

@mtngirlsouth - Excusing drug use because God made cannibals is absolutely ridiculous.God made Gama rays, arsenic, black widow spiders and cotton mouth snakes.  All are deadly to humans.In fact most of the universe is deadly to human life.  I suppose I should advice you not to go out and try to smoke a load of universe.

@musterion99 - What makes something medicine is a matter of discernment. Such discernments are usually undertaken by the medical and science community.

@musterion99 - I am skeptical of medical marijuana.  “Studies” are not always pure science. The Left has pretty much taken over everything. And they will say and do anything to further their agenda.Medical marijuana is in the same league as “homosexuality is normal”.

Theyll never make it legal, the political freaks make too much money from the payoffs. The cops enjoy the power trip.A sad situation.

@musterion99 - Don’t worry. Lo just has dick envy. Because he has a small penis. 

@musterion99 - the Bible speaks neither for nor against… it does not say explicitly, “Thou shalt not take Tylenol!”  but what it does say is to not be mastered by or enslaved to it… which means that leaves room for personal discretion… which means, I would suggest a person ask God what one should do in the matter of smoking pot for medicinal purposes… for myself, I can find no reason to… PERSONALLY… what I will say is a person should not become addicted to it hence the notion of being mastered by it (which happens more often than not)… as with any drug… so user discretion is heavily advised… that’s all that I’m saying…

@mtngirlsouth - you can use the same argument not to have control of cars on the roadf – or anything else for that matter. It is a misunderstanding of the soevereignty of God. God expects societies to pass responsible laws. when they don’t we are actually breaking His.

@Saridactyl - there is quite a bit of evidence that majijuana causes personality changes that lead to psychosis in some people which lead them to harm others. I know as I have to deal with such people. People who say marijuana is harmless usually have a personal axe to grind of their own.

@GodlessLiberal - this is personal, first hand evidence in people I work with who have destroyed their lives. In some drugs, including marijuana, was a big factor in certain personality changes.

@QuantumStorm - I have already made the point that misuse is not under medical supervision. The problem is guys like you want to use this as a thin end of the wedge for a free-for-all. As to driving, we would all accept the need to resultate it. But can you explain to me the virtues of legalising something that might give some people a bad trip? What is the point? Taking drugs (unless for specific medical reasons) is a bad thing in itself. Why legalise it unless to give people like you free access?

@QuantumStorm - Ok you can believe what you want. The fact is certain drugs have a tendency to cause psychosis in certain people. It will not be altered by whether you believe it or not.

@QuantumStorm - comeon. This argument is fatuous!

@QuantumStorm - I would have thought it was obvious to any intelligent person. But let me spell it out. The fact is foods are a daily necessity. A blanket ban on food because they have an allergic reaction on some people would mean the starvation of the human race. A blanket ban on illegal drugs would not have that effect but rather tend to improve the health of the population.

@mtngirlsouth - Invoking the Name of God to make a personal insult is blasphemy. And blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin.I strongly recommend that if you are going to damn yourself, you do for something of more value than a petty insult.That your blasphemy got two recommendation demonstrates conclusively that you are running with the Devil.Beware!

@mccanarie - Adulterers don’t have a congressional lobby. There is no 4/20 special day for adulterers. And California school children will not have to study the adulterous habits of historical figures that way they now have to study the homosexual, bi-sexual, and transgender nature of historical figures.You are just another in a long line of fideist atheists and Protestants like kenedwards, musterion99 and mtngirlsouth to whom reason and rationality are complete strangers.

@musterion99 - Clearly your purpose has always been denigrate and humiliate me.  But why should I sit still for your abuse? And why should I not have the good taste to delete comments that don’t serve MY purpose, which is to argue against the legalization of drugs.You and the others have been beaten in the arena of ideas, so the only thing left to you all are insults and abuse.It has also been my objective to show how Protestants band with atheists at any opportunity. That’s because the two religions are philosophically identical.Because Protestantism is so intimately related to atheism, it works to destroy Christianity just as does atheism.

@mccanarie - I’m not saying anything about how God sees sin. That isn’t the topic here.  I was referring to the political and cultural power of the gay lobby and the US druggie population.Nobody wants to get married and see their marriage get torn apart. But there are a huge number of people who want to normalize sexual disorder and drug abuse. In fact, the people who advocate this sort of deviancy are highly motivated.

@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - The problem,Charlie, is that in a free society, there is no justification for legislating morality alone. There has to be more basis for the discrimination of gays and lesbians than irrational disapproval (e.g. the lack of a rational justification.) You, and Christians like you, give the rest of us bad names. If you want to repress gays and lesbians, you’d need real world reasons and real world disadvantages and harms.
