America should not be involved with Israel at all whether you are religious or not.

Why else would Christians oppose marijuana?

Christians have very strong, some would say, passionate, feelings about it.

Passion of the plant, man.

I know a lot of Christians who smoke weed.

I don't think Christianity has any issues with weed.

Ummm... I'm Christian, and I support the legalization of pot! I also support Ron Paul. I guess it probably doesn't make me a "good Christian" according to some. But IMO you can't force anything on anyone! Also, just because I don't agree with something that someone else does, doesn't mean that I have the right to tell them they can't do it!

I am tired of the Israeli tail wagging the American dog. I am also tired of our unlimited support of an oil cartel led by feudal king charging the world monopoly prices for fuel. Our country needs to stop supporting either of these extremes. It just costs us with negative consequences for us.

I do not believe political or financial support shoud involve religious affiliation at all.

Where in the Bible does it say we are supposed to stand with the State of Israel?

In the same book that makes Lot a hero for offering his daughters' hymens to an excited mob.

Anyone who takes the Bible seriously as a guide to much of anything, deserves it.

btw- I am a Christian Ron Paul Supporter.



Nope! I will not be dragged into a holy war, anymore than we already are.

Israel is bad ass. They can and will take care of themselves, just like last time.

Jesus smoked hashish regularly.

djacques-

hymens? plural? For all these years I thought there was only one per fermale.

The basic socioligy of the bible and most of the rest are just a system for weak (old) men to force support from their wives and daughters.
