@gospelgirl Not everyone believes in the same “sins” as you do, hence why people do drink and take drugs.

To the OP: Yeah, I agree with everyone else. I understand your point of view and respect how you handled the situation, but admissions officers may not see it in the same light. Since there’s that “maybe”, I’d steer away from using this example. But maybe you can find some other way to talk about your devotion to your religion since it is clearly what motivates you!
