Bible Question:
I am not a full beliver in God because i feel there is nothing, in my personal opinion, that proves God is real. i study Religious Studies at my school and allthough i am an atheist, i find the whole thing of God and Jesus to be interesting. along side this i am considerd a "rebel" at school and such like for reasons i dont really understand. i am doing some RS coursework on Drugs and was wondering what any of you guys could tell me on, christian attitudes to drugs and all so what you feel about them, because in my own view i feel that Cannabis should be legalized and all other drugs banned because in theory, God made cannabis, and man made Alcohol... who do you trust?

Bible Answer: Greetings Used for Glue! How can an atheist say that "God made cannabis"? :-) I would encourage you to read the Gospel of John and get to know Jesus, not religious studies! If you are open to Him, you will be surprised at the change in attitude you will experience as you come to know Him. Concerning drugs, let me share a personal story with you. I have a 17 year old daughter. She got mixed up with some bad crowds when she was 14. She ran away and began to do drugs. I heard every possible argument about pot. "No, it doesn't lead to other drugs!" "No, there isn't anything wrong with smoking it." Let me tell you what happened! She is now 17 and doing about 3,000 dollars worth of crack a week. She has descended into prostitution to support her habit. She is kiling herself, slowly but surely. I can't make the case strongly enough! Drugs kill!!! I'm not saying that everyone who smokes pot will go on to harder drugs, but many do. Satan wants to kill us and he will use every means at his disposal. Personally, I'm not interested in studies or surveys. I have seen firsthand what drugs do to a person. They turned my precious little girl into someone I don't even know anymore!
