I admire your common sense, its a pity a lot of people don't seem to able to trust in their own judgement. I was reading a thread on this forum only the other day where someone had posted 'we shouldn't do drugs because buddah didnt approve of them' i mean really grow up and develop a mind of your own for gods sake.Pergatory said:Regardless of God, Satan, Allah, Buddha, Zeus, whoever you believe in, there is only one thing we can truly be sure of and that is those things which are good. I believe that all people possesses the ability to discern right from wrong. The things we personally believe to be true and good, we must pursue, and nothing, not even God, should stand in your way of that. If you believe with all your heart that you were born to smoke crack, then by all means do it and be happy. But I don't think that anyone who smokes crack truly believes that, they are held captive by it and they know it. It destroys them and everyone around them.
