For refuting your assertion that I still poison myself in small doses? Ok, thanks. But that wasn't the point.
"In moderation" is a lie. e.g. Pesticides are bad, period. Poison is poison. The LORD does not mention in Leviticus anything about moderation. Anything bad is bad no matter the dose.
If that's your jam, sure. FWIW I tend to agree that organized religion just gets in the way of our connection with God. I do separate the holy books from modern religion.
But the point still stands that bad is always bad, moderation doesn't make it better. I was attempting to make that point more relatable since you brought up the LORD's name.
You replied to me bub, insinuating I'm a hypocrite. I rightfully pointed out that in fact, I am not. I practice what I preach.
