I 100% support the legalization of marijuana, both for medicinal and recreational use. I would like to hear why you are for or against marijuana legalization. I have all the responses to the arguments I know I will get:

Marijuana is a dangerous drug leading to others. - Marijuana is actually less harmful than nicotine and alcohol and there is no known fact that proves marijuana is a gateway drug.

You want people to get stoned all the time? That's what will happen! - Well, liquer stores and bars are always open and people can go and get wasted anytime they want. Nobody is protesting bars and liquer stores to be closed during early work hours.

Marijuana is a harmful drug. You can die from it! - Nobody has died EVER from overdosing on marijuana.

What about the kids? They will get it more freely. - Well i don't think so. Being legal takes away its "edge" and it won't be unique anymore. Plus, just like cigarettes, stores can check ID when purchasing marijuana cigs.

I realize a lot of versus can be twisted to say anything, but the one below is pretty black and white.

Leviticus
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

AND - I realize he is probably in the closet, and a nut job

What do you belive is the root of all evil?

My belief is that 'fear' is the root of all evil, since fear is the main cause of hate

The evangelical Christian prescription for salvation goes something like this:
First, one must acknowledge one is a sinner, and that nothing one can do by one's own efforts can reconcile one to God.
Then, one must sincerely believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, and ask Him to come into one's heart with a "sinner's prayer" (reportedly the only prayer God hears from the unredeemed). Having done this -- either alone, or in the presence of others -- one is "born again", "saved", and nothing more needs to be done. But only then is one baptized.

1. If it is the Holy Spirit that convicts, isn't He already present in the heart -- and therefore Christ?
2. If all that is necessary is to believe, how is this different from James 2:19?
3. Who determines the sinner's sincerity and thus the validity of their conversion?
4. What exactly does baptism accomplish in this construct? Is it merely symbolic ritual? ("outward sign of inward change" still doesn't explain the necessity).

suicide - the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind

no doubt, if you were to sacrifice your child to appease what you believe god wanted, you would be guilty of murder. so if you were to willingly sacrafice yourself, how would this not be suicide?

I don’t want assumptions. There is an exact reason for it. Please answer only if you know.

The purpose of these questions is for people to know the exact knowledge and for the future generation to understand more about all these.

I am going to answer after all your answers: But I also want to know, who is interested.

I asked a simple question and got a stupid response. The mean part of me wants to send her a response and tell her to learn to spell before she writes ugly messages to people. However, the good side of me says to leave it alone. What would you do?

Their God is always portrayed as the stern, yet loving father who rewards if you behave and punishes if you don't. Surely, this type of reasoning works well on a 5-year-old child, but why do grown adults buy into it?

I'm an atheist. This isn't a loaded question, I'm just genuinely interested in what Christian's find as the best thing about being Christian.

What is your thinking on Revelation? (Please answer in a nice way)

BTW Witnesses can answer this question to help the others. Thanks everyone!

To me, I think it's so wonderful in knowing whats going to happen and that Jehovah is going to bring about the destruction of the wicked, Satan, and the unrighteousness and so much more, to bring in the paradise. I would love to live in the new system where there isn't any corruption at all.

Massachusetts common wealth state persecuted Catholics and sometimes killed Quakers because they were not accepted as Christians. Baptist and Deist like Thomas Jefferson are responsible for our religious freedom. The Salem witch trials were by people who called them self Christians.
