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.

Well, it wouldn't be prejudice to refuse to hang out with a serial killer. You're not making any assumptions about them if you know they kill people. It would be prejudice to assume that someone is a serial killer because they like death metal and Gears of War (or whatever violent video games the kids play these days).Likewise, assuming that someone is a worthless/untrustworthy/dangerous human being because they smoke pot. That's all I'm trying to say.
That IS the question of the day....how DOES one know?
But I agree with what you basically said. And if it were me, and I had a problem with dating someone because of "X" I would be honest and just tell them, "hey I really like you, but I can't really support the fact that you do X so I guess we can't see each other anymore." But that's just me.

To the OP: I agree with some of the others, if you are not comfortable with it, move on. I have had a 'pot' smoking issue, myself, and to be quite honest, I have had a struggle with quitting (long story, won't go there). But God will get the victory because I am tired of doing it. It has become a mental addiction of sorts. Like, when I know I'm going somewhere that has it, I'll want to smoke it. But I no longer have it in my house...weird I guess. Anyway, I know that I feel SO much better when I'm not high, so I'd like to keep it that way. As far as dating a man of God, I would not be comfortable with telling him I smoke pot. With that said, it's cool she told you, but if she enjoys it and has no qualms about quitting, then you may have to keep her at a distance...
