Drug abuse..is abusing a drug...meaning over using it...usually illegal And Religious fanaticism is going all out over a religion...legal Big difference. One is a drug, and one is a faith. Which one is worst? The one that can actually KILL YOU. Drug abusers are screwed up in thier heads, not only when they're high, but also when they aren't.

Drug abusers are only screwed up in the head while they are High. Religious fanatics are screwed up in the head pretty much all the time.

A person suffering from drug abuse can be rehabilitated. A person suffering from religious fanaticism can't be rehabilitated; it is a permenant disease.

Drug abusers are knowingly self destructive while the religious are simply following what they believe and/ or know is right.

Drug abuse can be treated. But for people like Losasha there is no hope at all. Stuck up, holier than thou wastes of space like that I can do without.

One is where you become a slave to a substance to achieve a specific state of mind. The other is just a state of mind brought about by ones zeal pertaining to religious beliefs. The later is supposedly less expensive, though that would depend on the religion the person belongs to.

Drug abuse makes you behave irrationally, in ways you normally wouldn't, sometimes even violently. And religious fanaticism... uh... wait, hang on... doesn't it do the same thing?

Drugs/ alcohol (when abused) - mental/ physical (cure= stop consumption) fanaticism - mental (cure= ?)

To the 'drugs are illegal' brigade, STFU. Anyway, spiritually speaking, Drugs are good, Religion is bad.

Drug abuse carries the risk of physical infection, fanaticism carries the risk of mental infection.
