Yes, marijuana should be legalized and regulated in the same fashion that alcohol is regulated. Alcohol is a far more dangerous substance than marijuana. That are not many, if any, marijuana related over doses deaths. How many for alcohol? How many people have been admitted to hospitals with marijuana poisoning? Car accidents related to smoking and driving in comparison to drinking and driving? If marijuana was legalized and sold, the thc content and the effects of the particular strand could be documented so people know exactly what they are buying; as opposed to someone buying it off the streets with the danger of the marijuana being laced with something extra.
"If you're an evolutionist, then this one's for you! Earth had to be placed at just the right distance from the sun, right? Coincidence... maybe. But since Earth had to be at that distance, Earth also had to be just the right mass to keep it in orbit. Also, since Earth had to be that mass, gravity had to be just the right strength. Strong enough to hold us down, and weak enough to not crush us. Now we're getting somewhere! Oh, and yeah, that planet with the perfect conditions happens to be the planet with sufficient water, and the right gasses in the atmosphere. All this (and like a million times more) had to come together perfectly with no second chances!"
This sounds a lot like the fine tuning argument for the existence of god. The way you present the argument is with the presuppostition is that the god that created earth with this exact specifications, life sustaining specifications, is the biblical christian god. Which, in your mind, and please correct me if I am wrong, is the proof of a young earth.
"A male deity is a god, while a female deity is a goddess and they exist because people need to have faith in their existence. "
Could you clarify who you mean by their? A god/goddess exists because people need to have faith in a god/goddess's existence? If that is the case, and I am not sure if that is what you mean, how does that prove the existence of a god or goddess?
"People cannot agree on an explanation as to why we are here so God is the creation of people's need to create God within the hierarchical system we call religion through the need to seek more comprehensive answers to the problems we face than is provided by everyday beliefs."
Would this not basically boil down to a god of the gaps argument? Also, if you grant that our existence is complicated with no known answer, how does that benefit us to explain something complicated with something even more complicated?
