    1. At the time that Christ supposedly lived, anyone who was left-handed was assumed to be evil. 2. After reading the bible from cover to cover (I really have: some fun stuff, a bit predictable in parts, should make a good series of fantasy action movies) I did not find any mention of this Christ person supporting left-handed rights or that left-handed people were not evil. How do you live with yourself having this hypocritical, lefty... should we call it "life-style"?

    It's a life choice, silly. Try it if you are cool enough.

              Of course. I went to 13 years public school and 6 years college. If you don't give the answer they want you get it wrong. But now you answer some. How does religion prevent free thinking? There are millions upon millions of religious people. Do you really believe that they are all brain-dead? Surely you can't be that arrogant.

                        That still does not change the fact that the Christian religion (maybe not Catholics) challenges you to test it out, never tells you to just accept it.

                                No, it doesn't. Christianity is not this "loving, give us a try, we're researchers" nonsense. The Christian religion is based on fairy-tales that already existed before, did things that other profets did, by a man not mentioned ANYWHERE in history except in the bible. And no, Christianity does not promote thinking; talking about some witch that walked on water. Next to that, nothing good comes out of religion. It should be banned in all forms, as the great evil that it is :thumbsup:

                                  Care to share examples? Don't show examples of people on drugs throwing up on the streets. We can see that in every country, legal or not. And remember, this is just pot. Other drugs are still illegal.

                                  Yeah, I've looked into it some more and you're right. Encouraging people to use substances that reduce your brain function, cause addiction and psychosis, and act as a gateway to harder drugs is going to have no adverse affect on society at all :rolleyes:

                                    Dont consider all drugs as the same. Alcohol was more of a problem when made illegal in the US (criminality + more people drank), but in general it is a safe drug. Dope tends to lead to neurotic behaviour in some. Coke is safe, till your heart packs in, at 60, but is fun till then (thus boosting GDP and fixing the pensions problem as well as saving the health service money in not having to treat old people). Speed is just cheap coke, and makes people lose weight (boosts the GDP, and fixes the type 2 diabetes problem and hence saving the health service money.) So yeah, some good and bad there. :)

                                      Legal or not, people will smoke pot. They won't get a criminal record for doing now.

                                        That's not a valid argument. Legal or not, people will murder. :^)

                                          No, it doesn't. Christianity is not this "loving, give us a try, we're researchers" nonsense. The Christian religion is based on fairy-tales that already existed before, did things that other profets did, by a man not mentioned ANYWHERE in history except in the bible. And no, Christianity does not promote thinking; talking about some witch that walked on water. Next to that, nothing good comes out of religion. It should be banned in all forms, as the great evil that it is :thumbsup:

                                          So, because you do not believe it nor can understand it then it must be evil. OK. That's not crazy at all. :omg:
