You don't understand logic very well do you.

Your argument is not even internally consistent. You can not argue that the Law can not be used against sin while at the same time stating that a Creator gave you rights. The Creator (God) is not a blank pass to do as you will.

Now, you are at least admitting something. You want to legalize drugs, or are sympathetic to that. You point out all the damage that the drug “war” has done to our old rights (which is correct), and that you want the government to leave you alone so you can pursue you choice of chemical enjoyment in peace. Since the Law can not be used against sin, so be it.

No lets take it one step further. I have a group of like minded, well armed, fellows. We have a nice deal going where we attack towns and churches, and carry off what ever we can steal. In our culture, that is an acceptable way to make a living, and even quite respectable.

Why should that be illegal if, as you say, the law can not legislate sin? See, the local law enforcement has really put a damper on our choice of profession.

Think. Use logic to support your argument. Don't go all emo and start talking about out of control cops. Think. You have taken God and morality out of the picture.

Why, if I have the might, is piracy or going a Viking illegal? You can't argue that “well, that hurts other people”. Morality is out of the picture. Drugs hurt other people, not just the user. So does a lot of things.

In what way(s)?

So does a lot of things.

Which things? Should they be banned as drugs are?

As you SHOULD know, RIGHTS only come into play in our dealings with other people. When you live out in the wild, all by yourself, it doesn’t matter WHAT you do to and by yourself. When you move into society, your rights need definition and protection. Our God-given rights include the right to life and the absolute right to protect and defend that life from the depradations of your happy group of marauders; the right to eat and drink AS WE WILL, including mood-altering substances; the right and DUTY to resist any and all who would interfere with ANY of these rights.

Now it may well be true that we should not exercise one or more of these rights, but THAT DECISION is between the individual and his God, NOT between him and government. Not in any way, shape or form.
