Some are bad, but just because they have quit them does not prove God's existence

Nothing. The bible doesn't mention drugs. Let alone say NO NO NO haha. And also, I want to know where shawn B gets his statistics on medical problems associated with marijuana use. Clearly not from any scientific studies or government reports. Seriously, if you can provide some substance to this claim other than your 5th grade DARE officer email me. I want to know.

Respect yourself. Enjoy what God has created and treat it well: that includes your body. Apply those principles and see where they take you.



Tobacco is the ultimate rip-off. The habit is expensive, fearsomely hard to kick, doesn't give you that much of a buzz and as for the consequences - furred up blood vessels, leading to amputations in later life, heart disease, increased risk of diabetes, lung cancer, stunted growth in children, the disgusting smell ... God doesn't want you to be such an idiot so don't get started in the first place.



Wine is a biblical metaphor for joy. Alcohol can be addictive and obviously its abuse is a no-no, but for most of us, let us drink, be a little merry, take a taxi home and be thankful.



The drug culture has largely passed me by and I'm lucky: I can get high as I like without chemicals, that's just how I am. Slightly manic I guess. So I tend to be a bit scornful of those who need their chemical fix - but I do meet plenty of casualites; which makes me think that all druggies are losers, yes even the high-flyers who snort their lines of coke. But I admit to a certain prejudice here. And I really, really do need a coffee right now.

Caffeine? Really?

Caffeine- a mild upper with little to absolutely no side effects.

Yes, sounds evil to me too.



Edit: Natural? Coke is the sap from the coca plant, sounds pretty natural to me. Alcohol also is just fermented products grown directly from the ground naturally. Marijuana when smoked is harmful to the lungs obviously.



Educate yourself on this issue before making blanket statements.

If you don't understand the ways of God, then you will see Him as sadistic.



It is when you abused it that's when it is bad. Since you find it to be fine and have no substantial harm to the body then please go ahead and take it. There will be no guilt. I don't know about your country law towards it, it may be an offense.



It does prove God existence. All things were created by God but not all things were created for man.

Natural drugs have no substantial harm on your body?



I'm sorry but this is ludicrous.



Caffeine is a "natural drug", it occurs in coffee, tea, and various other plants. Yet you think it's "horrible"?



Mushrooms and other hallucinogens can cause death if taken in too large of an amount. Not to mention, people do dumb things when on hallucinogens. They end up hurting not only themselves, but others. Such as Dustin McManus: http://www.news8austin.com/content/headlines/?ArID=124228&SecID=2



I'm sorry, but this silly "natural is safe", "unnatural is unsafe" dichotomy is totally bogus. There's no such real thing as "unnatural" or "purely man made". Men can only make things out of what nature makes available.



And nature can make some pretty deadly poisons: ricin, hemlock, etc...

Confirm the doctors about the harm they might do. And God thing is just included to try and stop people from using whatever is harmful to their bodies or family and social lives.

Marijuana users cost the tax payer 3 billion dollars in medical and treatment fees every year. This does not include court fees. Hallucinogens are known to do permanent damage to the mind.

The Bible says, "You are the temple of God" and that you are created "in the image of God". Therefore "Be holy just as I am holy". Drugs, alcohol, and smoking ruin your body which is the temple of God. This in term defile your body which was created in the image of God.

Some Prescription drugs save lives.



God is for preserving lives.



The main thing is to place all of your heart and soul and trust in Jesus Our Lord and Savior

It's a huge scam. It's like a smoking company offering cigarettes to their customers, letting them get addicted - and then charging them for a help service in order to quit.



In the myth of the Garden of Eden, God did the same thing again. He created the forbidden fruit for no apparent reason, then made it tempting by telling them not to eat it - and then when they did eventually eat it, he punished them and made them repay for their sins (obviously because God is sadistic). It makes absolutely no sense.

I don't know how God associates himself with drugs, but I've been wondering not only that now, but also "what I believe" has to do with God also.

According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, etc. contain nanochips and cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself. Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only white people. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), interracial marriage, homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. youtube.com/watch?v=94rcOVJBMYQ Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. youtube.com/watch?v=8dub8PF2d8E Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time: "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner". Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me. :)
