Toby, faith and weed-post it here.

In the post "Things I Don't Understand", I made the statement that I don't understand "How Toby sings about his faith and about getting high with Willie."

- One person asked me who Toby is.
- Anonymous said, "Does that mean he doesn't have faith? "
- And then Anonymous said, "No, some people put their faith in things that go up in smoke...not in eternal things...too bad."

Either Anonymous was having an argument with himself, or there were really two Anonymous'. I sure hope it's the latter.

A1 seems to think that weed and faith are consistent
A2 implies that Toby puts his faith in weed

What I was really getting at is that Toby Keith sings and talks about being a Christian, so A2 missed the mark. Toby doesn't claim to put his faith in weed. At the same time, he sings about getting high with Willie Nelson. And A1 says, "what's wrong with that?

"Faith" can mean anything, so they could be consistent. But if you are referring to the Christian faith, are they really? I'd like to hear back from A1, or anyone else, what Scripture has to say about it...
