I’m not trying to make the case that taking drugs is on a par with homosexuality, although I think it would be easy to come to that conclusion based on my comments. I do see them differently, but I also see them as contributory to our youth’s damnation.
I think legalization of homosexuality (if you will) and legalization of drugs would send the wrong messages to our youth. It’s one thing to do things knowing it’s wrong, and it’s another entirely to do it thinking it will be legal to do it in a few years anyway... so why not?
Customary dabbling becomes so much more than that, when the state goes on the record that it’s a normal adult activity.
How do you tell your kids something is wrong, when the government tells them it isn’t?
We’ve already got the government working on our kids with regard to homosexuality. Adding drugs to that mix concerns me a great deal.
govenment or ANY authority figures condoning sin is irresponsible at best...I am sure that my 'feelings' of at least partial responsibility for my eldest son's ill advised path to drugs is warranted on that opinion...
unfortunately, my need to be honest in my past, to illustrate the absurdity of 'free' will, did condemn my son to think its ok, since i was fortunate enough to find the other end of the tunnel...
fortunately though, I KNOW that God's Plan for me and my son are perfect, and that what I did was in preparing me to be a useful tool for his Glory, and I can honestly pray that my son shares in that Grace...
the sins are all abominations and condemned by the Lord...the agendas are very different and driven by man...
