There will always be differing opinions. Don't let it get to you. Release the idea that people have to agree, and just roll with the discussion.

It's one thing to debate an issue. It's something else to have post after post promoting drinking alcohol

Who promoted drinking alcohol? All I've done is explain how the Scriptures speak of moderation and condemn drunkenness.

or using marijuana.

Medically, yes. Recreationally, no. Those who have children with epilepsy who have benefitted from medical cannabis will clearly understand what has been advocated.

And then there's the incessant whining about beards and bashing of ministers, pastor and churches.

I've only seen the desire to confront those traditions of men in our midst that are being taught as doctrine.

Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm in an apostolic forum or some secular forum.

Apostolic... meaning, like the Apostles. Did the Apostles condemn all alcohol, beards, and decry medical advancement as it relates to more natural medications? No. Perhaps the problem is that the forum is becoming more "Apostolic" than the mold fashioned in the mid 1900's will allow.
