Yet most religionists argue that they're the "man with the plan" because they know "God's will." Such arrogance has always lead to folly. The metaphysical world of the Bible looks more like a government bureacracy than anything else. It should thus come as no surprise that most "believers" are inclined to look for government approaches and semi-violently attack those who advocate a market-based approach. Drugs are a perfect example. I'm a Deist, not a Christian. I frankly don't really care if you OD on Heroin. If you are stupid enough to use it, you get what you deserve. Why? You knew that would be the consequence of your action and you took the action anyway. There is a very darwinian aspect to drug legalization. Such approaches to morality assume that most people are so utterly stupid and depraved that the barrel of a gun is the only thing that keeps them from partaking of a vice. The vast majority of people would never even try Heroin for the same reason that they would never stick their head into a grocery bag filled with model glue...
Don't knock it 'till you've...was I typing? Oh, yeah...

Do Deists love God? Do they love His works?
