That is about one argument for which there is no response and you played it well.
I have thought about telling some of the people at the two churches here in town that I attend on occasion (I support their charities) About my fondness for weed as well as resuming my travel hobby, starting with Vegas in January.
Just to see the reaction, but honestly, I don't care.
I have had more bad experiences than good with religions, and I am not going to provoke any more.

Christianity left me with a bad taste. I often found myself searching to say the right Christian trigger words in the presence of those in "positions of authority." But as you correctly state, those in positions of authority could never argue against the words,
"God said I need to do x-y-z . . . " So I played along until it was time to move on. I left the church in 2007 and never looked back. I'm happier now. It felt like a weight (
or yoke) was lifted off my shoulders when I moved on.
Today, I am thankful for having gone through that less-than-stellar experience.
You live. You learn.
