Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.
(it appears that the moderator is removing any replies with which he disagrees. It might be a piefed issue. But all the removed replies are top level and upopular. Stranger coincidences have happened I suppose.)
Do you think a person who abuses/has made a habit of alcohol only drinks at night here and there? I was just giving an example, it wasn’t an exhaustive list… Don’t avoid the conclusion, even if you don’t change your behaviour, it is what it is.
Do you think a person can’t sit and reflect during lunch? Or confront moral truths while having a beer?
I’m not avoiding the conclusion, I’m saying you don’t achieve it at all and your entire premise is riddled with assumptions and fallacies. You are far worse for my mental health than a beer, lol.
From another comment they made, they seem to be projecting their time as a “party boy” onto everyone else. It doesn’t sound like they ever discussed moral philosophy over drinks which many have done.
I have been an academic and a degenerate and understand that truth lives in the grey areas—something they are incapable of or unwilling to understand. I took a peak at their history after reading your exchange with them and yeah, zero self-awareness.
“Avoid intoxicants for the negatives outweigh the positives” seems like a pretty reasonable statement to me.
LMFAO like you ever said it even slightly close to that
Well, no, I replied to a comment that already called alcohol a dangerous thing, I just expanded on it, talking about how it’s not just the personal health risks but the social responsibility that should matter (if you don’t die or have any serious complications from alcohol abuse but you change for the worse and act with no virtue, it’s still an unnecessary fuck up, and continuing in it is a show of poor character).
But that was more of a direct citation from the Qur’an, and I’m not surprised that the word of God is more convincing/efficient than my own, which comes shaded by my own personality.
Ah yes the passages in the Koran claiming everyone is a shit human besides you.
I guess we got what we paid for, arguing with a “yappy monotheist”.
I’ll take a drunk who knows it’s wrong over a religious person who knows they’re right any day.
