It's shallow pandering, much like the liberals do, by oversimplifying Christ's words. Yes, Christ didn't believe that what you consumed made you evil, it's your intentions, thoughts, words, and actions (what comes out of a man) that makes one evil. But at the same time, Christ was against drunkenness and gluttony, which were about what goes into a man.

Well I'm sorry the questions I direct to others don't live up to your expectations. It was a simple query and meant to be just that. I do not find it necessary to impress myself with intellectual head games nor am I seeking the approval of others on this thread. To me, it is simply a matter of basic human decency regardless of which side of the WOD one comes down on.

As much as I think Osama bin Laden deserves termination, I personally would choose a swift death even if my baser impulses demanded slow and painful revenge. Your use of terms like shallow when corresponding with someone on a thread tells me you just might think you're smarter than those you're addressing. Often I pose questions of a very simple nature and other times of a very complex nature, a little like fishing. No offense taken. Have a nice day. You may want to reread my post #40.

Yes, Christ was against drunkenness and gluttony, but was of course not against moderate consumption of alcohol and food. I don't believe we have any information to show whether He would have recognized a "moderate" use for pot (or whether He would have considered all pot use immoral). It's an interesting question, I think -- your thoughts?
