Question
hi im doing an investigation for religious studies at school and im wondering if u have any religious points of views on drugs as that would really push my mark up!
please write bk asap
thanks
Mairi-
You did'nt say whether you were talking about legal or illegal drugs.
As for illegal drugs, I believe that we must follow the laws of the land - that's from both a moral and religious point of view Jesus commanded us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's - I believe that is a commandment to follow man's laws.
As for legal drugs - I believe god gave us the knowledge to improve our lives, and I think legal drugs are okay.
Hope this helps.

| Comment | Carl, thank you for the straight up answer. I thought in my heart most of what you told me, and it's good to hear the reassurance. I will start mending some fences, and the pledge is a great idea. jess | ||
