> Lou, I don't mind that you have an anti-drug stance, but I do object when you put it in a religious context. I personally find your religion and others like it incredibly egocentric, childish, and quite frankly an insult to the human intelligence. That you come onto this board to peddle your personal view of the world when most here are so vulnerable is, to say the least, very poor form. I, too, have my beliefs, but I am not about to try to use other people's suffering as a foothold for religious proselytising.
Guy, you wrote,
It is written here,[...your religion (Judaism)...(is) an insult to the human intelligence...].
By that I can not see what criteria that you used, if any, to make such a claim, a subset of readers could have hostile and disagreeable feelings and opinions about me. These could be those that think that if a statement is not sanctioned here, that it is supportive and will be good for this community as a whole because they have seen that Mr. Hsiung has posted that in his thinking being supportive takes precedence and that posters are to be civil at all times.
The fact that you think that Judaism is an insult to the human intelligence, does not mean that it is true that Jews and others think that about Judaism. But be it as it may be, what you have written about the Jews stands here today so that not just me but all Jews that read this here by you, (redacted by respondent).
But it is much more than that. For by any others following your thought, they could reject the opportunity that I could give them to be free from addiction and live by accepting what I could post here from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me that could have freed them if what you have posted about Judaism was not able to be seen as being supportive here.
