Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    It’s because Appeal to Authority is a poor argument, especially when other people don’t recognize the authority you are appealing to.

    “My religion says you can’t do X” will never be a compelling argument or recieved well.

      My religion just supports it, but I’m sure anyone can see the only direction that alcohol use can go in if done habitually.

        “Appeal to Popularity/Appeal to the Masses” is also not a compelling or interesting argument.

        If there are good reasons for your religion to say something or for “everyone” to agree with something then state those reasons instead of vaguely implying their existence.

        You are being downvoted because your argument is shit, not because people are “allergic to morals”.
