No. Clearly, chocolate is also about living life more abundantly. 😀

Buddhism does not require a belief in a deity as far as I know, but you CAN belief in such if you want. That may be why she converted. Also gaining social status probably helped.

I think you are confusing Christianity with cannabis.

My favorite pick up line is, "Did you pass wind... because you blow me away."

Thank you for sharing old chap. I suspect your pick up line is more successful than my 'you'll find me in the fridge.'

*Edit. Unless i am tying to pick up a penguin.

Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."

The jot was not only one of the smallest letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but also one of the most insignificant, being sometimes deleted at the writer's pleasure. The tittle was only a mark or a point on a line that helped distinguish one letter from another. The tittle corresponds to our period or apostrophe. The point that Jesus is making is that even the tiniest detail of the law would not pass away.
Christ fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law. The law was ordained to life, but no one could keep it. So, God sent His Son. He did what no sinful flesh had ever done. He kept the law thereby winning the prize for keeping the law. This granted Him eternal life but before He could give it to us, we still had a debt that had to be paid. This is similar to someone receiving the death penalty for some hideous crime, then some billionaire leaves his whole estate to him. It would do the condemned man no good. But if that same billionaire could somehow take that man's place and die for him, then he could go free and enjoy his new wealth. That's what Jesus did for us. He took our sins and gave us His righteousness.
Jesus did much more than just obtain eternal life for us, He also paid all the wages of our sins (Rom. 6:23). God literally placed the condemnation, or judgment, that was against us upon His own Son. Jesus' perfect flesh was condemned so our defiled flesh could go free. What a trade! Since Jesus bore our sentence (condemnation), we don't have to bear it. The debt has already been paid.
