On his radio broadcast today, Bryan Fischer spent the better part of one segment railing against the dangers of marijuana and saying that it should never be legalized because it’s use violates the teachings of the Bible.
Citing Paul’s admonition in Ephesians 5:18 that believers should “not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,” Fisher said marijuana should be illegal because people “are not to be under control of anything except for the Holy Spirit.”
This would, of course, also apply to alcohol, which Fischer presumably thinks ought to be illegal as well … as should hypnosis, apparently, which Fischer also warned against.
“I’m primarily opposed to marijuana use,” Fischer said, “just for the same reason I’m opposed to drunkenness, same reason I’m opposed to cocaine use and heroin use: it’s turning control of your humanity over to something other than God.”
