Is selling drugs a sin?
I know that using them is. Because you are harming your self and your life and all, but is selling them a sin? Like if people didn't sell them, the addicts and users would still get them. Of course I'm sure God doesn't like it since your supplying someone with a substance to hurt themselves and possibly kill themselves with, but like I said they would still get their hands on drugs and use them regardless. So sin or no?
Ok if no one sold them the users would just make them themselves duhh!!

It is no crime and it is no sin. You can sell drugs legally with the correct permits. If you sell illegal drugs, it is a crime, not a sin. Religious people always want to refer to the law as god's inspiration for modern times so that a crime then becomes a sin. This is not only faulty doctrine but not even truthful on the part of the religious! Modern law is secular, supposedly, and only considers crime, not sin, in application of the law. Religion convicts one of sin, not the law of the land, in the USA. However, religious people push for laws to protect their insecure beliefs in a supreme being. Therefor, American law protects religious beliefs rather than the rights of the individual. This is how the drug war started and how drug laws are hate crimes disguised as the law!

It is a sin and it's a crime nevertheless. If no-one sold drugs, no one would had ever used them, so what you are saying isn't perfectly accurate. Anyway even if it was, you still supply someone with a substance that can cause him to die, so you are partially to blame as well in case that person dies.
Selling drugs is something that no-one and surely the Church wouldn't encourage.
P.S: Making drugs is quite hard, so I doubt that any users would get bothered discovering them first just to take hours making a small quantity.

Of course it's a sin. If you are selling them, you are supplying them. How do you know the person would get a hold of them another way? You may be their only source. They might have other ways, but even they do, you won't be the one giving it to them so you won't be helping them destroy themselves.
By selling drugs you are saying, "here. I really don't care about you and you're going to get them anyway so what does it matter if I give them to you?"
That's not the attitude we should have.

No....doctors write prescriptions every day....beer is sold by the millions of gallons....but selling drugs, which are dictated by law to be illegal, must be a sin because the act of selling illegal drugs might leading to harming someone...the spiritual message of all religions is love, and hurting someone is not an act of love ........

Yes, stupid question to which you already knew the answer. Even if you didn't believe in God you should still know it is a sin to mankind!
I'm talking hard drugs, some people think Marijuana is a drug, I say it is no more of a drug, in fact less of a drug then alcohol.

Sin. If someone says, " I want to shoot myself," are you culpable if you hand them a gun and they then shoot themselves. Yes. Spiritually, it is a sin to help someone else commit a sin. It's also illegal and stupid. And on that point, as illegal, it's a sin, too. Did not Christ tell us to obey the laws of the land. You'd be a better witness to other prisoners if you were the chaplain at a prison and not another inmate, mate.

issues that are unlawful are actually not continuously a sin. extraordinarily in case you make the hassle to look at different rules in distinctive worldwide places. this although is a sin. actuality isn't some thing we could continuously be waiting to willingly get away. and that's all that drugs particularly do for many folk. like it fairly is been pronounced various cases already, via dealing you're making your self the midsection guy to the destruction of dissimilar lives, directly to the customer and via a ripple result to those around him. i watched my sister and her son lose each and every little thing that they had 2 separate cases because of the fact the guy she replaced into with on the time replaced into addicted to heroine and crystal meth. you're suited they are going to ultimately get drugs in the event that they seem problematical sufficient, people will continuously have the potential to take great thing approximately an habit. some people can stay with that on their experience of right and incorrect others can not. to be certain that a why, in case you desire to look at issues on a foundation of relativity then you certainly won't in any respect discover one. in case you seem at issues with an absolute in recommendations then finding on the wear led to via substance abuse could be reason sufficient for you.

That's a good way to come under surveillance. Sin is imperfection, so whatever you do is sin because we do nothing perfect. It would be wrong, and illegal that you are selling drugs.
