You wrote,[...between us...regarding which god any of us refer to.
I think that the god in question in a discussion, if identified, could allow the members in that type of discussion to better focus on, as in this case, the way that that God wants people to use or not use mind-altering drugs and to define what a medication is or is not according to that god.
In this thread, I have replied to the poster innitiating the thread with that if I was to know which god the member was referring to, then I could offer my views or not.
I have seen many positions on the aspect of taking medicine and what is or is not a medicine in relation to someone's views concerning what they think their god wants them to do in relation to taking mind-altering drugs and as to what a medicine is or is not.
So I do agree with you in that you wrote,[...I don't think...will allow...]in relation to a discussion between {us} because I could give my view concerning the God that I give service and worship to but not, let's say, the God that Hitler gave service and worship to, or let's say, the God that is represented in the Alhambra Decree that those people that embraced that give service and worship to. Hitler said that he was doing the will of the Almighty God. I ask, which god there and I ask which god here in any discussion concerning what someone wants to know about God's position, as in this case, taking mind-altering drugs and what is a medicine according to that god in question if I was to know.
I will await a reply to me here from a member that will identify the God that they give service and worship to if they would want to have discussion.
