Which is more the crime? Taking away someones right to be responsible, and substitute it with laws declaring what is right or wrong? or educating people to the extent they can make the right choice on their own?
There was a time when Rock and Roll was considered to be harmful to society, yet without the ability to make that choice for yourself, you become less capable of making others. The law can't dictate the choices you make, anymore than it can dictate the weather. What is in nature cannot be restricted by laws of something that doesn't exist by nature. The more we restrict the decisions by law, the less we educate people to the proper degree to be truly independent. We shouldn't replace dependency with dependency.

I keep coming back to China lol) is really looking foolish lol, he is so off his Nutt (Prof). All his drug advisors are about to quit. Maybe to take up smoking pot lol. I never think prohibition works, it leads to black markets, gun and knife crime, theft, murder etc etc.. It didnt in the US over alcohol, and as we have seen in the UK and USA the more they have tried to stop the more and the more diverse over time the use of different narcotics has become, from natural to manufactured . When I was young, we didn't have half of the problems of anti-social behaviour through alcohol like we have now, we didn't have half as many drugs either. (That is a fact, Mr. Johnson). Was it not the US government that first developed LSD which it used as experiments in the most incredible dosages to see if it could be used as a weapon? Its only your created laws of fish ally creation, the "fear of God" that creates mindless behaviour. So what is wrong with Mr. Johnson, to disagree with his experts? I agree with his experts, alcohol, refined drugs such as cocaine and heroin are far more lethal and harmful. Mr. Johnson, stop going over the top over pot, or are you just against fighting crime??? -------------------------------------------------- From: "ornamentalmind" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 12:21 PM To: "Epistemology" <[email protected]> Subject: [epistemology 10909] Re: Where and Who is God ? > > http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.html#middle > > On Oct 29, 4:43 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Science and Religion: Is there a conflict? >> Or maybe: >> Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. >> / Albert Einstein. / >> Or maybe: >> All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. >> / Albert Einstein. / >> # >> Science and Religion: Is there any conflict? >> Or maybe there isn’t any conflict. >> Religion or Physics ?
