[quote=@DarkwolfX37] A) If it's that easy to ruin a plan then you REALLY shouldn't do anything because you might fuck it up by trying to help. B) The fact that you're supporting laws against something means that you're trying to force them not to do it. C) Not purposefully, but there's no such thing as not being selfish. Even selfless things are done for selfish reasons if you go deep enough down, and that's fine. I don't care if you do it for a sense of superiority, that has no bearing. As long as you don't try to force someone to do or not do something, I'll have no problems with whatever you happen to believe. That's true of everyone to me. D) I'll try to put this into perspective. Say that there was a religion or cult of the people who wear frogs as hats and don't watch anime, mlp, or doctor who. They're weird, and don't make sense, but they're harmless, right? But then if they go around yelling at people and trying to pass laws that nobody can watch anime, mlp, or doctor who, then that's a problem, even if they're doing it for what they believe to be good reasons or to help people. And if they go up to you and say "Why aren't you wearing a frog as a hat!?" and acting as if you're doing something horrid, you'd be mad. It's not your job to follow their beliefs, the only people who have to follow them are the ones who believe them. That's about how non-abrahamics view them. E) If you were using accurate studies with actual information, instead of using studies that were blatantly lying, that would be a different issue and I wouldn't be reacting this way. But the combination of the two things pisses me off. [/quote] A: Which is why, of course, we have to seek God's guidance before we do something. B: It's common sense to pass laws that keep people from doing that which hurts others. If the government is also going to pass laws that prevent people from hurting themselves, I'm going to support them. C: I believe there is, but I likely wouldn't be able to argue that. D: I see what you mean, but it's slightly exaggerated (although I'm sure that's not purposeful). Sure, we'll go around warning people about their sin, but we're not going to shun them (that's what I'm understanding from "acting as if you're doing something horrid") or get angry or anything of the sort. God calls us to be considerate, and that means a moderation of firmness and gentleness. E: Although ignorance is no excuse, I have no idea whether the information was false. It was from a .gov website with citations. Although, the "5x as much" was not from the .gov website; it was from another which had no references, so I wasn't sure if I could trust it, but I was running out of time.
