Aren't we humans strange? We choose to do that which we know we shouldn't, then wonder why the addiction and despair.

All of that could be avoided if we would just stay away from those things which we know can cause addiction. It just seems like a no-brainer. 😳 Surely we're smarter than that, but then we get to thinking, "Nahh, I won't get addicted...not me!" and that's exactly what the devil is counting on. People don't realize that Satan is such an influence in this world. We just have to make more conscientious decisions and educate our kids not to get involved in those things. That's not to say it still won't happen but hopefully, if we have good guidance by parents, the chances might become less. Let's hope so, anyway. It is so sad to see lives ruined because of drugs and alcohol. My own husband was killed in a car accident because of a drunk driver, so we really need to emphasize safety and awareness.

So if you don't do drugs it's gods grace and if you do them it's the devils will?

@zeggle That's why I dont go into this christianity based on judgement. In fact Im not into any part of it at all.

@zeggle I do hope you're smarter than that. We are each responsible for our own actions.

It's biblical fact that this world is heavily influenced by Satan. That's hardly judging people. It's simply common sense, that some people don't use good judgment. That's the danger of buying drugs or alcohol to begin with and people need to be aware of that, because it's too easy to get addicted.

@LadyGrace You have just said to someone "we are all responsible for our own actions". That is what I havebeen trying to get across all this time. No saints, no demons, no god, no satan. Us. We have to rely on ourselves and each other because no supernatural force is going to do it.

@autumngirl27 Ahh....gotcha! 👍 However, I didn't say because no supernatural force is going to do it. This goes for anyone, as you have said, we have to rely on ourselves, however, prayer works, too, if any want to use it.
