Look, I’m going to leave off on this useless exchange.
As I’ve said, I’ve proved my point that you do not have a right to do that which harms others and that leads to societal decay.
It is obvious at this point that I was correct, that you are just a liberal, and one of those liberals that is entirely self-indulgent, and that you are a troll on this board whose goal it is to try to convince conservatives that true conservatives condone the complete elimination of all codes of morality that voluntarily restrict harmful behavior.
On another thread, you mentioned wearing the crucifix and quoted the Bible, so I’m going to leave you with this thought.
If you truly are a Christian, then you know that you will be held to account for all that you have done with your opportunities in this life, and you will be judged for those that you have led astray, for those whose lives you deterred from God, including your own. I’m not saying you will not be saved. I believe that if you are a Christian, you will be saved. But you will stand naked before God and you will be judged guilty for the worldly and self-indulgent choices you made that deterred yourself and others from God. And that may not sound so bad at first knowing that your punishment was served by Jesus. But think about what that moment will be like when you stand guilty before the God who so loved you that he sacrificed His only begotten son that you should not perish but have life everlasting. Think of the anguish you will suffer when you are found guilty of such ingratitude.
The Christians I know know not to tempt the devil, to play with darkness, to toy with sin. We know that if we pitch our tent toward Sodom, we will be overcome by evil. And we know that if we tempt others to pitch their tents before Sodom, that we will no less be overcome by evil.
And, finally, let me say this, that if iron is not protected, eventually rust will destroy it. It does not mean that rust is superior or that rust is true and right. It means that the iron was not sufficiently guarded.
It takes a team of highly skilled, intelligent, dedicated people to build a beautiful, sound Victorian home that can last for centuries. It only takes one thoughtless, selfish fool with a match to destroy it.
It's been very useful in showing that you have no sound, coherent argument for drug criminalization.
As I’ve said, I’ve proved my point that you do not have a right to do that which harms others and that leads to societal decay.
What you've failed to do is show that drug relegalization either harms others or leads to societal decay.
It is obvious at this point that I was correct, that you are just a liberal, and one of those liberals that is entirely self-indulgent,
Since I don't use even currently legal recreational drugs (alcohol, tobacco), it's hard to make out how I'm "self-indulgent."
the complete elimination of all codes of morality that voluntarily restrict harmful behavior.
Completely wrong - I want the complete elimination of all codes of LAW that INvoluntarily restrict behavior that is at worst only SELF-harmful. I'm all in favor of the voluntarily restrictions of codes of morality.
The Christians I know know not to tempt the devil, to play with darkness, to toy with sin.
Saying that the prevention of sin is not the proper nor effective province of government is not "to toy with sin."
