I would see where you were coming from if so many other Libertarians hadn't posted such similar things, just not EXACTLY the same. As far as Christianity is concerned. All kinds of people call themselves Christians. Those are the people I usually debate. When I see a post about sex or drugs I just automatically thing of the Libertarians I've read on the FR who want total liberty regarding all vices. Things like legalizing all drugs and prostitution, almost anything, as long as it is victimless.

A surprising number of Libertarians also call themselves Christians though seldom the Mensas.

Well, thats why you shouldnt paint with such a broad brush.

Now with the religion part out of the way I will also tell you I too am for legalization of drugs. Why? Im sure that is your first question. Because, the only person being hurt by drugs is the person taking them and that is their choice. So you will come back by saying no, thats not true, drug dealers kill each other off all the time. and I say yes that is very true but if they took the money out of the trade through legalization the criminal element would be gone with no need for drug wars.

Now before I am labeled a heathen again I would like to let you know I am a deacon in my church (Central Christian Church)and I do drug counseling. There is NO REDEEMING VALUE to drugs and the good lord knows we would be better off without them but unfortunately thats not the case.
We have fought and fought against drugs through laws and law enforcement and it has gotten worse. It's time to try a different approach.
