A Bit Of Logic

READER NOTE: to see posts sooner, be sure to check out our new blogsite @radiofarside on steemit.com.

In honor of the recent switch to Sharia Law in the UK, and for all the wonderful theocracies out there that love to kill people for possession of illegal drugs, I offer the following bit of logic:

God exists.
God is good.
God created the Universe.
The Universe exists and is good because God created it.
All things that exist are part of the Universe.
All things that are part of the Universe must be good because God created them.
Plants are things.
Plants are part of the Universe.
Plants are good because they are part of the Universe that God created.
Cannabis is a plant, therefore cannabis is a part of the Universe and it is good because God created it.
To say that God is bad is blasphemy.
To say that any part of creation is bad is blasphemy, because God created it and God is good.
Therefore, to say that cannabis is bad is to commit blasphemy.

The best part about this argument is that the only way to refute it is to deny that God exists, which is blasphemy. Thus, one sticks the theocrats in a logical box in which they must either admit they are blasphemous or admit the law is blasphemous. Either way, blasphemy has been spoken and someone must be punished for it.
