• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Canabis ect.

Your contradictory interpretation of Scripture is not an objective basis to conclude Nostradamus and Edgar Casey as counterfeit.

Cant you Understand Nostradamus and Edgar Casey are not Jesus Christ!

Who is the Devil blinding now?

Click it and find out.

I did Cerberus. I'm pointing out that when you go to religious tolerance, you will find Wicca associated with witchcraft. You keep telling Andrea she is misrepresenting Wicca because she used the wrong terminology.

Why don't you just tell us instead of pointing to a website? What's the diff?

Yes, but your kind of thinking about Wicca is exactly what led these ppl to do this. This kind of extremist attitude leads o just as much sin and evil as a liberal extremist attitude.

What are you talking about? Have you seen Andrea pulling out someones fingernails? :scratch:

Cerberus, let's get back to discussing drugs.

Illigal Drugs.
Marijuana has been illegal in the US for only 68 years. It is legal in other countries. The penalties for its possession vary widely with each jurisdiction.

Your OP referenced the Bible, saying marijuana use was sorcery, but here you reference the law. Is sorcery a matter of law or definition?

Wiccans can be witches. Witches can be Wiccans. But a witch is always a Wiccan, and a Wiccan, isn't uasually a witch. A witch is a practitioner of magic. It's not a belief system. Wicca is an earth centered belief system. It doesn't have a strict dogma, but it isn't witchcraft, which is the art of practicing magic.

There are a lot of Wiccans, that have nothing to do with magic.

That's what she keeps getting wrong.

Yea, I tried that a while back, He didn't say much.



You say the He made the evidence overwhelming, which means that there's evidence abound. I want you to explain this. Where is this evidence? What is this evidence?


Do you believe in Atoms ?

Thanks for the definition Cerberus. Hopefully, it will help discussions if the thread continues in that direction.

Part of the drug discussion should be whether the legality of drug usage makes it morally ok. I also see a difference between medical usage of drugs and recreational usage.
Agreed. (I joined the discussion late, only to find it had veered off course.)

What is your view on recreational use?

Myself, I feel that people should be allowed to recreate in a manner of their choosing.

As to legality, an argument can be made that breaking the law is always immoral, but the line gets blurred when a law restricts or denies freedom or the rights of individuals.

And former Christians say they've wisened up!
As do former smokers. The point is, whether I wise up or not is my decision to make. As long as I don't bring harm to others, claimes of being evil are only unfounded opinions of the reformed.

Andrea,

Do you support freedom of religion?

Yes I support freedom of religion.


[/QUOTE]
If a religion uses marijuana as a spiritual rite, should it be allowed to do so? Morally, if not legally?


Yes if the religion is not christian.
