No matter how great a person is or what amazing things the person has accomplished, that does not mean that every single action and choice from every moment of the person's entire life was all the best or healthiest thing to do. We are allowed to make the choice to do unhealthy or dangerous things because we have free will, but that does not mean that every unhealthy action is good for you just because you are capable of doing it.

I guess I just wanted to defend something I like.
I doubt you'll change my mind and I doubt I'll change yours and, now that I think of it, I don't want to, so we can stop discussing before really starting some drama, it is imperative that we Brother and Sisters in Zeus-Satya are united as one as stated by Our God Himself and do not divide ourselves over worthless matters.
