re: Why do people treat former drug addicts/felons like they are heroes?

If someone breaks into your vehicle, burglarizes your home, mugs your grandma etc it was usually someone doing so to feed their drug habit.

Okay. Yeah that sucks. That's what happens when people are addicted. But if they get clean and strive to live a clean life and be a working member of society, it's no one's place to judge them when they were at their worst.

Ok, so if someone on drugs crashes into your family and kills them then it would be wrong for you to "judge them when they were at their worst"?
I mean hey, "that's what happens when people are addicted".
What about if they were strung out on drugs and murdered a family member?
Would you judge them then?
I mean hey, they've cleaned up and are now a working member of society.

You never answered my questions. Do you drink? Do you go to church? How old are you?

My bets are yes, yes, and under 30.

And church?

Also, simple math could put you over or under 30 unless you literally meant 3 years ago to today.

Lots.

You are one miserable and insecure fricker aren’t you ? Overcoming addiction is a hard thing to do and sometimes takes a miracle. It’s not a contest. Let them have their moment .

So you think all addicts break into cars and mug grandparents? Seems like it since you’ve mentioned it a few times now

He’s a child that doesn’t drink and goes to church with his mom and dad after they wake him up on Sundays. He thinks tv is real.

I am curious as to which church you attend or which particular faith you lean towards? Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Pentecostal, etc.

Why I ask that? Because I find many so-called Christians aren't very Christ like and are big hypocrites. They go to church, set on a pew and see themselves as holier than thou. Church isn't about having social or elite stature. Its mission is saving those that have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Jesus preached and dwelt among the lame, the blind, the harlots, the lepers, murderers, etc. He didn't judge or look down on people. He came to seek and to save those who are/ were lost. Offering them forgiveness, redemption, and everlasting life. Is your church open to and welcoming towards these types of sinners?

Ask yourself this day whom you serve? There is only ONE master. Are you doing his work or Satan's?

Lulz. I’d have a beer w you.

Basically if you do good in life you’re a pos. Fk em, embrace it.

Opiates are the one that scare me. All it potentially takes is one injury or carwreck. It happens every day to alot of really good people.
