The Christian Thing To Do

In a discussion of politics in Latin America the Drug War came up. My position is that drug users are self medicating. So a commenter chimes up with the usual:

“People in pain will do what ever it takes to get pain relief”

In other words, it’s not the crackhead’s fault he’s a crackhead.

and my response was:

Golden Boy,

Wouldn’t the Christian thing to do be to relieve the man of his pain instead of his crack?

Well I’m Jewish, what do I know?
