Overindulgence is a sin and falls under the Greed category, which is also a sin. And even though were allowed to have these things - if we overindulge and become GREEDY with them, then that's when they become of sinful nature. But let's just put the whole 'sin' issue aside for a second and look at it from a different point of view. If were greedy with these things and abuse them - there's a great possibility of us become addicted to them.

Because God says that HE (and only HE) should be our main focus in our lives, when we become addicted to something - that something takes over our lives, thus putting God second and our addiction first. Thus why were allowed to have these things, but not overindulge in them, as overindulgence leads to addiction.

Now as far as illegal drugs are concerned (especially weed, since many think it's okay to smoke for spiritual purposes) I've just remembered this from reading a few passages a while back. One of the things God tells us to do is obey the laws of the land. This definitely applied back in the biblical days, as it does now.

And after finally realizing that doing ANYTHING illegal is pretty much a sin (and wrong in the first place), I've come to the conclusion that doing any type of drug that is illegal is, indeed, a sin, and therefore weed is not associated with Christianity whatsoever (which many people think otherwise because weed "may be connected" to spirituality in a way.) In other religions, maybe. But not Christianity.

Discuss if you must.

No, breathing is not a sin. As fas as thinking about sinning - well, yes, that's correct depending on the circumstances. If you're consciously thinking sexually immoral thoughts, then that is a sin. If something pops up in your head subconsciously and, after realizing that thought is there, you try and get rid of it and focus on something else, that's fine.

That is the dumbest shit i've ever heard. Especially since sex is MAIN biological function number 2. Second to survival.

Intelligent religious arguments are great.

Stupid people who think by posting this shit means someone will care, are just annoying.
