Didn't Jesus turn water into wine? Jrssr5 13:12, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
Marijuana and nicotine aren't alcoholic drinks, they're drugs. Also, don't some denominations of Christianity actually drink wine (an alcoholic drink) as part of Holy Communion?MatteeNeutra 13:14, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- Where in the sentence Alchoholic Drinks, like Marijuana and nicotine, are considered to be gateway drugs... does it say are alcoholic drinks? It states they are gateway drugs.
- JC 13:17, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- The bit where it says "Alcoholic Drinks, like Marijuana and nocotine, are gateway drugs."MatteeNeutra 13:18, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- Try ''Dogs, like pigs and sheep, are considered to be mammals.... Does that make pigs and sheep, dogs?
- JC 13:21, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- No because all 3 of them are mammals. Your original statement was similiar to "Dogs, like fish and snakes, are considered to be mammals ..." Jrssr5 13:25, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- Alcohol, Marijuana and nocotine are gateway drugs. Is it so difficult to understand?
- JC 13:51, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- That's different because pigs and sheep are simliar to dogs in that they are all animals. Marijuana and nicotine aren't anything like alcoholic drinks! Also in an article of this nature, where the subject matter is supposed to be about alcoholic drinks, an example of alcoholic drinks would be better mentioned rather than a drug reference.(Jrssr5 got there first!)MatteeNeutra 13:28, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
No, it is a good point. Alchoholism, like those other drugs, is often trivialized, but can lead people to much greater abuses. That's why the bible warns to stay away from it.--CWilson
- It was the way it was written NOT the content. I changed it to eliminate conflusion. Crackertalk 13:34, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
The way the sentence was originally crafted made the "drinks" the object, so that anything that came parenthetically after the comma would be assumed to be alcoholic drinks as well. Changing the word to "alcohol" makes the object of the sentence "drugs", thus gives better readibilty.Crackertalk 13:40, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
- Yes, that's a good edit and it clears up the article. Jrssr5 13:42, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
Jesus did not prohibit the drinking of alcohol. Read John 2:1-11, where Jesus makes water into wine at his mother's request. Surely if alcohol were a "demon drink", as the article describes alcoholic beverages at the time of my writing this, Jesus of all people wouldn't be providing it at parties.
