Just a fool.
Just a question I thought I would pose to the good folks at RF. Is drinking beer, in and of itself, a sinful act? Or, for that matter, smoking marijuana? Smoking crack? Shootin' up some H?!?!?
I know that for a lot of people, these are very, very, very bad things. When you see a drunken father who abuses his family, it's difficult to say that alcohol isn't bad. But, then again, there are plenty of people who use alcohol/drugs and live completely normal/moral lives.
IMO, it depends on the mindset of the user. If you are using a drug as a cop-out and a way to avoid the pressures of everyday life, then you are using irresponsibly and abdicating your duties to deal with life. But, if you really just are using for a little thrill/enjoyment, and don't participate in any other sinful activities while using, then what harm is done? I've heard people say they've had the most religious experiences of their lives while on psychedelic mushrooms and other substances. Were they sinning?
IDK, I'm just throwing that out there. I'm excited to see what your opinions are. And please, use some sort of reasoning here. Don't say, "because my teacher said it's bad".
