Keep you G-D mitts off of me...brother!
I find it interesting that so many claiming to be Christian make it a point to inform others that they're Christian. As though doing so automatically places oneself on the moral high ground, or somehow lends legitimacy to one's position, or proves the correctness of it. Perhaps it's just a way of absolving oneself of having to construct a logical argument to defend one's position. With respect to being Christian, all that really matters in the end is wether or not God thinks you're a Christian.
We ARE our brother's keeper.
You are the keeper of the one called Malcolm and no other.
To support legalized drugs, by itself alone, is anti-Christian.
According to who?
Deliver unto Caesar what is Caesar's, etc...
If you want to preach from the pulpit, or get in the face of drug users and chastise them for their sinful ways, go door-to-door trying to convert sinners or set up a Christian drug rehab center I will support your right to do so with my very last breath.
If you think that having jack-booted thugs kicking down the doors of dopers, murdering or incarcerating them is your right, that's where we part ways.
In other words, please quote to me from the Bible where it gives you the authority to murder someone for drug use and I'll be willing to support your position. (Version of bible, chapter and verse, please. Vague interpretations will be summarily rejected.)
Since you can't, I'll assume that you are just another person that wants to meddle in everyone else's business.
And I find it real strange that you 'christian' types want to be my 'keeper' at the point of a gun. I don't recall Christ ever threatening anyone with a weapon.

The Bible says that YOU are your brother's keeper. So, why are you trying to shift your responsibility to the state?
Seems to me that lazy Christians vote GOP, just as lazy liberals vote Democrat. Both want to shift their compassion onto the state.
Sincere Christians and liberals assume the burden of their ideals, without dragging the state into it. They vote LP.
