Statement 1: People say that Marijuana is a "gateway drug," but personally, I think 'milk' is a gateway drug/substance. 98% of people that use hard drugs drank milk between the ages of infancy - 5 yrs old.
Statement 2: God does exist - he is what you make him. If I decide to worship a rock and live my life the way I think a rock would expect me too and pray to the rock the way one would pray to the Man upstairs then that works as a God for me. I've tried it, and my prayers were answered about 50/50 in both cases. <~~last line borrowed from George Carlin

well personally I think Milk has to be outlawed or weed has to be legalized...there is no middle ground here. and on the second thing...have fun worshiping a rock, Me personally would rather worship God because I would rather have a higher power that can bring down plagues and do really cool stuff...instead of something that just lies there and does nothing.

Statement one is ridiculous. Just because A occurred after B, does not mean A caused B. (Almost all rapists went to kindergarden. Kindergarden must cause rape.)
Statement two is confusing. I think it's the "God exists because I really want him to" argument. If God can be defined as "anything", then he exists based on who's talking about him.

1) I'd say alcohol better qualifies than milk (personal experience, esp. since I drink very little milk). Strange how alcohol isn't considered a "drug," eh?
2) God exists only in the minds of people. (even if you don't believe, the God-notion is still in your head)

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.
Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!

the 1st one looks like they are trying to take the cause out of the equation.... why didnt they put 'breathed air' cuz 100% of the people do that!?
the other one... I don't knowl... I know that God exists... but He is who HE is... I do not make him to be anything else... but I am who HE made me... and I pray that I can become more of who He wants me to be
