"I said it was the same, unquestioning mindset (lack of rationality) that leads to irrational acts such as the WOD. These people (drug prohibitionists) accept certain things on faith without question or even supporting evidence."

I intuit that you logic is becoming incoherent.

I don't have the same moral code as the WOD or religious zealots. You are grouping everyone that "accept certain things on faith without question or even supporting evidence".
Including everyone who believes in free will?
That would include most scientists and some of the greatest artists and philosophers throughout history. Are they like the WOD?
At some level you do accept certain things on faith.

Do you believe in free will?
