Matthew 11:18-19
For John came neither eating nor drinking,
and they say,
'He has a demon.'
The Son of Man came eating and drinking,
and they say,
'Here is a glutton and a drunkard,
a friend of tax collectors and "sinners."
' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."

Murder is criminal because it violates an other's inalienable right to life. Harm as a chief motivation
is no different than having fear as your chief motivation.
Most occurrences of the word 'fear' in the Bible are followed
by the word 'not'. Sometimes it is fear 'God'. But, you
fear a gift from God, a flower. Meanwhile, you disregard
the word of the Lord and cheer on DEAmen to the destruction
of other's lives over their consumption of an herb.

ROM 14:2-4
For one believeth that he may eat all things:
but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not:
and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth.
For God hath taken him to him.
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?
To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand:
for God is able to make him stand.

So you're for legalizing weak people eating pot on religious grounds? Are you therefore OK with criminalizing meth for strong people because its not part of your herbal religion?

2 Peter 3:16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

This verse tells us that mishandling the Word of God can be very dangerous. Indeed, mishandling the Word of God is a "path" to destruction.

News flash. Myself and 299,999,998 Americans define being deprived of life as harmful. Reasonable expectation of harm is what gets you through each day without dying. To suddenly pretend that reasonable expectation of harm is meaningless is akin to suicide. Try practicing your theory while crossing the street tomorrow.

Just to clarify for everyone, you believe that having a restrictive speed limit for school crossings is unconstitutional because its based on fear, correct?

I'm not sure what effect this will have on the foundations of your religion of search engined scripture texts, but technically marijuana is not an herb.

Marijuana's stem, like hemp, gets very woody, unlike oregano or basil. In botanical lingo, that means that it is not an herb. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/herb

However, don't let this stop you. It has become common place to call it an herb, and the apostles probably knew this would happen 2000 years ago. Are there any other followers in your cult-evasion? Please keep posting.

Give it up, Pax. Smoking pot is a sin, and your attempts to use scripture to justify smoking pot is a sin. You're a loser on two counts. If you truly care about what God thinks of you, now would be a good time to pray for forgiveness.
