Title: Is alcohol/drug/food abuse suicide?
Post by: Sikotic™ on June 26, 2002, 12:48:35 PM
Do y'all think that alcohol abuse, drug abuse, tobacco abuse and overeating as suicide.

It's been medically proven to be bad for your health and/or leads to death but yet people still abuse them.

Do you think God considers it suicide?

Well drugs, alcohol or whtever is poison.  It damages your body and mind, which are a gift of God.  If you die from a disease related to that, means your dieing from something you did on purpose...the reason for your death..is well you...
So I guess it is suicide, since your killing yourself...only slower..

I don't think so... Cuz most people who do drugs n shit like that aint doing it with tha intensions to kill themselves. I dont think God would punish them for it if it wasn't their intension.

Yeah but they are fully aware that that shit is dangerous to ones health, its not like they are ignorant about the fact that it might kill them or anything.  And most ppl take drugs/alcohol or whtever to relax, ease their pain or whtever, and religion teaches to pray and meditate instead...So it aint like drugs or whtever are the only things which can relax ones mind

none of it is poison **in moderation**

BUT

gluttony ... one of the sins when accompanied with one of these is a more valid point for this argument IMO

If you consider that true then there are a lot of things that fall into that category, such as:

Driving fast
playing football
swimming in the ocean
having sex
rock climbing
bull riding

Depends,  if u think about,  almost everything exciting in life can be dangerous an if u die u could consider it suicide.  It all depends on tha person intentions.  If u sit back drink a brew once an while or smoke a blunt once an a while,  it aint no thing.  But if u r severly depressed i think u could maybe call it a suicide.  Some people do resort to drugs an alachol as a way 4 suicide but indirectly

Sikotic said "abuse", if taken moderately, alcohol isnt really dangerous etc...but you have a very good point.  The guys who died climbing mount everest, is it considered suicide? cuz b4 they started climbing it, they knew they might die... I dont consider that suicide tho, I mean thats human nature, excitement, ambition, dreams, humans are just like that, to quest for power, achievement, etc...
I consider drugs worse tho, suicide, cuz that shit impares ure brain or whtever, it makes u lose self control, conciousness etc.  Its kinda complicated, you have a good point tho, peace
