sins of the flesh

LT, you're obsessed man.  Not everything in life flows towards this vice.

There, that's better.

Since I started them both, I'll answer.

The Answer is, because : Among adults there are few saved because of the sins of the flesh....With exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned. (St. Remigius of Rheims)

What could be more important that saving the souls of our daughters and sons, from the sin that takes almost all adults?

The real question to ask, is why are there not more threads about the sin that takes practically everybody, while there are so many about worldly events, like moon landings, the Jєωs, 20 varieties of sedevacantes, Biden, Trump, Putin how many angels fit on a pinhead........

Well said.

Even trads are subject to fallen human nature, and are prone to sins of the flesh, but they seem to believe that because they are trads and attend the TLM, that this will make them holy, and not subject to the laws and justice of Our Lord. Maybe that's why they are so fearful when it comes to the mentioning of sin. Sin is something that others are prone to, but trads have somehow escaped the problem of sin, and can then focus on worldly things instead, and then deride others for mentioning personal sin because it's somehow not really relevant for trads.

The blind sanctimony from you two is unbearable sometimes.

"The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican."
[Luke 18:11]

Yes, I can well imagine that it is unbearable. That's the point really, isn't it? That trads believe themselves to be above the law? 

Pot costs money to buy or even grow. Money for pot could be Money to feed your family or for fuel to attend Mass. 

Alcohol costs MORE money and effort to produce than MJ.  MJ is only expensive because it is, generally, illegal.  if it were legal it would be reasonably inexpensive, as alcohol.

There, that's better.

MJ use is not a sin in and of itself anymore than alcohol is.

And if someone uses MJ before committing a sin of the flesh, MJ still isn't the culprit.  The culprit is the sin of the flesh itself.

What you say is akin to a murderer saying the killing was the fault of the gun.

Well, it depends on what state one lives in, and if the state has legalized pot. In the state that I live in (Washington state) pot is legalized, but it is highly regulated, and very expensive. I don't know about street prices for pot. Based on what my son has told me about his friends in college who were pot smokers, they spent between $500.00 and $600.00 a month on pot. That's quite a bit more expensive than alcohol. Cheap booze is always available. But pot isn't cheap, not like it was in the '70's when I was a teen, and I had pothead friends.

Those of us who have researched MJ and know what we are talking about, advocate CHANGING THE LAW, not being above it.

Alcohol is very simple and cheap to make.  Prices are driven up by taxes, regulations and profit concerns.  Agree with your larger point, that both MJ and alcohol would be very cheap if the govt got out of the way.

Thank you for the clarification. Your point is exactly what i meant..  Sometimes my mind works faster than my fingers.
