1- Sex? Here's Solomon laying it on thick to his girlfriend..

"How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies."
(Bible: Song of Songs ch 4)
2- Drugs? check it-
"Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing" -Ezekiel 47:12
3- Booze? no prob, Jesus changed 120 gallons of water to wine..

4- Jesus and Elvis both rocked because their message to kids was- "Don't be like your boring parents, be KOOL and do your own thing!"..

"You were dead when you followed the ways of the world" (Eph 2:1/2)
Right Elv?
"Uh-huh"..

If Jesus had spent all his time healing people he'd have had no time to do anything else, but he did 37 miracles just as examples of what he could do.
He also said WE could do miracles too, so maybe prayer is "thought pressure" that can influence this dream we call "reality"?

You must have got the Bible mixed up with the Koran mate!
The Bible and women's rights sounds good to me..

Jesus said to the snooty priests-"The prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you" (Matt 21:31)
And he said "I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matt 5:28 )
Paul said- "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28 )
Elsewhere too the Bible speaks for women's rights -
"Control yourselves honourably, not in lust like the heathens" (1 Thess 4:4/5)
"Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love.." (Ecc 9:9)
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will preach, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. On my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will speak." (Joel 2:28-32)
