"I think we need less fire and brimstone on this issue and more compassion. Alcoholism and drug addiction are without question harmful to our culture and yet we find great compassion for its suffers, I think that same logical should be applied."

Nobody is trying normalize alcoholism and drug addiction as perfectly acceptable alternative lifestyles which we should encourage and celebrate. And it's not compassion to indulge a lifestye which the Bible says will keep a person out of heaven. Nor is it compassion to set an example that one can pick and choose for themselves which precepts of God to accept and which to discard all depending on one's own personal preference just so long as in the process they remain convinced they are basically a "good person".

"Alcoholism and drug addiction are without question harmful to our culture and yet we find great compassion for its suffers, I think that same logical should be applied."

But alcoholics and drug addicts seldom band together seeking your subjection.

Neither do they seek to infiltrate centers of learning and other venues where your children are gathered that they might indoctrinate and prey upon their flesh and souls.
