I dont get it. People say that smoking pot is a sin because my body is a temple of God and by doing something that causes damage to my body (despite the fact that the alleged dangerous of marijuana are exaggerated/made up by the government and media, I do admit it does cause damage to the lungs) I am damaging my temple of God.
Ok, but more injuries and even deaths are reported from playing common sports such as football. Even greater amounts of bodily damage are incurred from those who do extreme sports, ie. rock climbing. Perhaps rock climbing itself is not sinful but once you have taken a fall or scraped an elbow then it becomes a sin?
Also, most medications (I use pot as a medication for many things, primarily nausea and insomnia) tend to cause some form of bodily damage. Is it a sin to drink coffee since caffeine is proven to stress your entire system and promote anxiety?
I hope I dont sound insincere, these are just some of the many questions I have.
By the way, I dont want to see responses such as "God isnt real so it doesnt matter", I am looking for some critical thinking and explanations. If you cant offer any of that, then dont bother replying because I wont take your response seriously anyway. You are wasting your own time.
