What would Jesus do? He was great friends with former (and current) sinners.
People do immoral things for lots of reasons, many that are beyond their control. Some people use drugs self-medicate their emotional pain, for example post-traumatic stress disorder after coming home from a battle zone or after being raped. I suggest that you study psychology and find out why people are driven to do self-destructive things sometimes. Besides, I have met people who are very happy, and spread happiness and joy to everyone else in their lives, yet they smoke marijuana and have sex before marriage. In fact, over 95% of people in the Western world have sex before marriage these days. Are you going to condemn 95% of the population? I'm sure you can find some reason to condemn the remaining 5%.
I think that once you grow up a bit, you'll learn that life is not black and white.
I must say that I found your attitude disturbing.
But it's that I feel like I've been taught by my parents to judge that 95% of the population; when I was younger, they told me that pre-marital sex, doing drugs, having abortions, or doing anything else like that was horrible, and I was horrible if I did any of that stuff.
And then I discover years later that they're still friends with people who have done these exact same things? Why don't my parents think that their friends are terrible horrible people for doing these things? It's that I feel like I've been taught to judge 95% of the population by my parents, but then they get pissed when I judge their friends, who are part of that population. I feel like I've been taught by my own parents to judge 95% of the population, and I find it hypocritical of them to be friends with people who are part of that 95%.
If my attitude is disturbing, it's because I feel like I was taught this way by my parents, and they refuse to admit it, which pisses me off.
IIN that my parents are still friends that have done "immoral" things?
