God will call drug dealers to account, says Pope

So every Govt that ever collected a cent in tax from alcohol and tobacco is going to hell as well. Makes me feel better.

yeh to be honest, drugs have saved me from doing many bad things, and that makes my dealers my saviours. sorry mr pope, the last thing your religion made me do was judge and condemn someone for something, which i actually have no right to do according to your religion... oh, and neither do you... wonder what god will say?

what did drugs "save you" from doing and how do you know what would have happened if you didnt take drugs? do you have a crystal ball?
 
On one hand, I agree with the pope that it takes a real lapse in morality and lack of concern for the well-being of others to be a hard drug dealer.

On the other hand, the Catholic Church, unlike Protestantism and Islam, has never openly condemned any drug use in official doctrine, which puts the pope in a really awkward position to get all sanctimonious about something like this.

At least it's dealing, not use, that's getting condemned. Glad to know his holiness wouldn't give a shit if made my own drugs for my own personal use.

why does the church not condemning drug use put the pope in an awkward position considering he is talking about drug dealers and not users? i think that making a living through an illegal trade, especially a trade which often results in harm coming to people, is pretty morally questionable behavior and for the pope to not denounce drug dealing just wouldn't make sense.

drug –noun

2.
c. any article, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or other animals.



According to Trogdor's Book of Loose Interpretations (currently out of print), petroleum absolutely qualifies as a drug.

Shall those who deal in oil also be called to account by God?

dont be stupid, the pope was obviously referring to those who deal in illegal drugs.
 
Since drugs aren't illegal in Vatican City, the only drugs the Pope could possibly be referring to are the legal ones, by default. I believe this includes oil.

And if he's referring to everybody else's drug policies, well then that makes him a hypocrit doesn't it. Then again, I believe that the fabric that ridiculous hat is made out of is interwoven with hypocrisy.

Touche.

I guess what I was thinking in the back of my mind was that the pope's denouncement would be a hell of a lot more forceful and compelling if he could be like, 'Shame on you! Any good catholic knows from scripture and church doctrine that having anything to do with intoxicants is forbidden, there's Satan in every snort, yadda yadda. Need I say more?'
 
Yeah, the government has a monopoly on that already

as well as organized religons.

christianity and governemnt work together hand in hand



the government distributes more weapons and drugs than any force. They imprision all independent street dealers to knock out competition. They cover thier ass by claiming drugs on the street are dangerous, when really they sell the same substances only in more addictive and pure forms, thru pharmacutical companies.

dont lie cheat or steal....the government hates competition.
supression at its greatest

Cant you people see that the government is controlling every aspect of our lives.
Controlling what we put inside ourselves is like controlling how we feel and think.

I guess most people are too stupid to think for them selves and rather have other people do it for them.
Or have a religous figure claim God told him so.

what? so you mean i can't consider someone who sells kratom in australia a drug dealer because it's legal here? that makes no sense. and even if that did somehow makes sense, youre still twisting meanings. when you sell oil, youre not selling it as a a drug and your customers are not using as a drug. why would you even try to imply that its the same thing as dealing cocaine or heroin?

Well on a non-drug related issue, I believe the Vatican stood by during WW2 and diodn't condemn the holocaust (and the current incumbent was a member of the Wermacht) so condeming drug dealers while staying silent on genocide qualifies as a fuck off sized hypocrite in my book
 
i asked how referring to drug policies in other places made him a hypocrite, not random reasons random people think he is a hypocrite.
