Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

Well, just to clear any confusion: I was raised Catholic and was a big fan of what Jesus said and did (still am, ofc) but the Paulian/Roman nature of the Frankenstein'd Trinitarian tradition just didn't make sense so I was a very young atheist (arguing in Yahoo answers and everything, lol, the good old days) at the age of 11-12. Then I read more and life changed my circumstances and with it, my perspective, and I became a monotheist at the start of my 30s, like Jesus and those of his time and before him were. I'm a Muslim man today (I just don't take the hadiths seriously because, duh, but idk if this means anything to you, I'm just making sure I'm understood). And I'm not American, we don't have these popular sects or whatever where I'm from.

And no, "my religion" doesn't allow me to judge, my morality and my brain does. The same way you can judge yourself and know when you acted right or not (hopefully), I can do it as well. And when I see "moral relativity" for the sake of hedonism, I gotta say something, for all of our sakes (because I need a reminder as well). I'm not here hating on people because they watch Harry Potter or eat too much candy, lol, I'm talking about something that can only evolve into tragedy, so one must be wary of it and avoid it, because "it feels good!" cannot be a passable moral argument (that's the "Diddy/Epstein argument", after all).

    “my religion” doesn’t allow me to judge, my morality and my brain does.

    Yeah, I know. Your religion expressly forbids judging others. You don't know anything about alcohol. Therefore no one will be interested in your thoughts on it.
