I responded with this same message in the pot thread. But i'll throw it out here just to let that other one die. If you feel the need to tell me to go fu*k myself, this would be the spot.

I'm going to be nice in my response (which is somewhat out of character) and alejandro, as usual, has taken the words right out of my mouth. Quick synopsis would be to say that some people use mind altering substances illicit or otherwise to escape for problems that are no way associated with their drug of choice. The drug is used as an escape, not a cure nor a recreation. If these problems did not exist or the person had the proper support to deal with the underlying issues drug use would not have become a factor. Then there is also the issu...

I am sorry that I didn't see this before--I usually just chk the main forum site to see if anyone responsed--my not responding was not intentional.
Thanks for being so patient and so mature in your response 🙂 (seriously)
Have you checked a Concordance? I know this is not teh place to debate religion but just to back up my statement that is where I got my information.
as far as what you said - you can look at the Hebrew language that way - I believe differently. God allowed His word to be preserved throughout the ages. don't you find it funny that the bible is the longest running book in print? look at all the books that have come in and out of print. I believe in God who is in control of ALL things and has preserved for us H...

the drugs represent a lifestyle choice, i guess. Most who do them are the ones we can see easily (the poorer side of society) and sadly, poke fun of. The wealthy, just hide there lifestyle that can be seen in th poor better b/c they have the money to. But their familes are falling apart b/c of the choice to indulge in something that they think will make htem happy or to escape insurmountable pressure, so for a time, they don't thave to think about it.
That seems like one big assumption to me.
So whats the best way to put my disobedient child to death? Just trying to get a clarification on some pointers from the best selling book of all time..
...
Best selling I'll agree to but "longest running book in print" I must disagree with.
Yes, the calendar that the majority of the world uses is based upon Anno Domini, the year 0, the year of "our" lord. But, He did not invent the book. The Bible was not the first book. There were books before that are still in print and are still being reprinted. I find it funny that many people think anything that happened BC is prehistoric. As if the dinosaurs vanished and then came Jesus.
Come on now, civilizations, cuture, language, and arts had flourished for many many years before Jesus. Did nobody write any of it down?

In Ancient Egypt, papyrus (a form of paper made from the stems of the papyrus plant) was already used for writing as from 2400 BC. Papyrus sheets were glued together to form a scroll. This custom gained widespread popularity in the Hellenistic and Roman world, although we have evidence that tree bark (Latin liber, from there also library) was used from earlier times in Italy. But during most of the classical period papyrus was nearly synonymous with writing material and so the words 'paper' and 'Bible' both come from Greek words meaning papyrus.
In schools, in accounting and for taking notes wax tablets were the normal writing material. Wax tablets had the advantage of being reusable: the wax could be m...

The bible is a compliation of writings that have been preserved from almost the beginning of time. Old testament is traced back almost 6000 yrs ago (or around there) - thus the bible (those writings) ahve been in print longer than any book.

The beginning of time? You mean here on Earth (a relatively young planet)? And of course you're discounting prehistory and all time before any form of alphabet was conceived...right?
...I was just about to do some research but you know...it's just not worth it.

do you even really care to know?
I took that response as a sarcastic, rhetorical question.
my response was not an assumption...In what ways do you disagree?

Is that not an assumption? Guessing?

How do you know what is going on in someones family? It seems like this is based on speculation.
The thing about killing a disobedient child.. well... that comes from the Bible, which is the word of God. All of it is correct right? So how can you pick and choose what to take as law and to follow (much less use to determine how other people live their lives) and what not to?
...
i think, that all around, and this is only my personal opinion, it is neither an assumption or fact, just an opinion of my own having no bearing on the opinions of others.....
You are a freaking nut.

drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex outside of marriage, pornography,etc should be banned (to you that may seem extreme). there is reason why God says NO to all these things.
No... a book says that God said what he said.
I worship the flying spaghetti monster. It's scripture explicitly states it is the ultimate truth. In the FSM scripture there is nothing prohibiting any of the above activities. I suggest you do some soul-searching and turn your idol worshipping life over to his noodly appendage before it's too late.
So how much time would I be in the slammer for because I made whoopee with my girlfriend? If the cops searched my place and found a porno mag when they were arresting me, how much time would that add t...

A large portion of US citizens engage in one or more of those activities.
Actually I'd venture to say 90% of all humans.
