Because they have different beliefs than you do. Your beliefs are NOT natural law.
Are all of these acts wrong? Maybe, maybe not. I don't see the harm of an occasional beer.
Without charging interest, many capitalists won't bother lending their money, thus crippling our economies. And the difference between a fair rate and usury is a tough call.
As to fornication, why is it any of your business what people do in the privacy of their homes?

I agree that fornication and adultry are wrong. But drinking alcohol isn't.
Noah drank so much alcohol that he somehow fell asleep naked. One of his sons tattled to God. And God (pretty much) said "So what?" God was not mad at Noah for drinking and becoming so inebriated that he passed out naked. Nope--he was mad at Noah's son for tattling.
Ref: Genisus 9
Jesus turned the water into wine at that wedding. This could not have been wrong since Jesus was without sin.
Ref: John 2: 1-12
Those are a couple of examples, from both the Old and New Testament, to support the reasons that I do not believe that drinking alcohol is a sin.

People will do it because it is not wrong to everyone.
Not everyone believes it is wrong
Some people have different religious beliefs, or no religion at all, so people will do what they want when they want, and that should be ok

it is not wrong, they violate some do-gooders sense of morality but they are not wrong. individual people can decide what they want to do for themselves. Individual freedom is not liked by religion because they cannot control everything in life.

It's only wrong if you are harming others.
People who harm others do so because they have forgotten that God is Love - and It is there for them to use at any time.
Namaste!

yes these are evil according to what your lifestyle is but if you are not a follower of the word of God then you would see these things as recreation.

You're taking a few things out of context, and you're also forgetting that mankind is in slavery to sin.

Because people do whatever they want and could care less if things are wrong or not. some have morals, some don't.
