Stealing is illegal AND immoral.

And getting stoned on drugs isn't?

There's no commandment that says "Thou shalt not ingest substances that make you act like an idiot."


There is a commandment that says "You shall have no other gods before me." Drugs do that, to the user they put nothing before getting them.

I have no idea who or what you're referring to. But Ron Paul is as strongly pro-life as any candidate running.


Anyone who knows anything knows that the surrender monkey DEMANDED that an under aged girl be allowed to cross state lines in order to get an abortion when it was not legal in the state she lived. HE IS NOT AGAINST ABORTION. He is only against it when it fits his position. Just like he only follows the Constitution when it follows his agenda.

Where do you draw the line? Is it immoral to eat beyond satiety? Is it immoral to sit and play video games so long that you get a clot in your leg? These are victimless crimes. Neither the law nor God will punish you for overindulging in an activity that involves no victim other than oneself. To declare that getting stoned is immoral is just arbitrary. Believe it if you like, but you have no right to impose that belief on others.

Drug addiction is a physical addiction. Do you realize that there are addicts who never even chose to take the drug in the first place? Wives whose husbands tied them down and injected them with heroin, for example. Personally I would not compare drug addiction to devotion to God.

I'm not going to comment about the abortion case, because you insist on referring to Ron Paul as "surrender monkey." You plainly hate the man, so there's no point even discussing this issue with you.
