smoking and usage

cbasketball27 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-2006, 06:53 AM

I am really interested in the correlation between smoking weed and being a religious individual. None of my friends that smoke are religious and neither am I. I think that most stoners prefer to use the term "spiritual", and I guess I would be floating somewhere along in that category. I used to be a very strong Christian, and then I fell out of it because I stopped believing, but that always troubled me a lot. Then when I started smoking that sweet cheeba I just stopped caring about Christianity all together. but I am sober right now and I would like to hear other ppls opinions on smoking and religion. Are you religious? Atheist? Spiritual? still searching? don't care? and did smoking change your perspective? I think this thread has the possibility of being pretty interesting.

Well surely this will be moved, but while on topic:

I am a spiritual person and smoke religiously.

Well, people think I'm spiritual, but in my head, it's more then spiritual, so I say I am religious. Just because your religion isn't accepting a certain somebody as your savior, or that you're the chosen people, doesn't mean it's not a religion and as such you're now labeled spiritual instead. So I call my self religious even though I don't believe in a deity.

religon is a buisness, but i do have a relationship with god.

i have been questioning it alot lately though, mainly because faith seems like an unrealistic ideal.

smoking marijuana has dramatically changed my thinking about life and the way i view the world.

i used to be a strong christian too. however, after becoming more educated on things such as world history, world religion, and philosophy, i finally saw organized religion for what it is, and that is a tool used to control the masses through brainwashing.

some of the most horrific atrocities in the history of human civilization have been done in the name of religion.

so many bloody wars fought and so many people dead all because one group of people wanted to prove their imaginary friend was better than another group of peoples imaginary friend.

it's downright sickening if you think about it.

Almost every war can be traced back to religion, or how religion has taken a normal human on human war.
I hate religion. Not individual people, but as a whole. It's just the guidelines for a way of life that people thought was right hundreds of years ago, there are so many flaws now that we are smarter and that we know how many things work/happen. We all need a superman in our lives.

To be honest I just do not know what to believe anymore. I wish I had solid proof, but so does the rest of the world. I want some direction in my life but I am not sure where to start.

You shouldn't blame religion for the atrocities that MAN did himself. Besides, Religion

is more of a Template for how you should model your life. Let's be real here. To

Deny there is a Creator would be ludacris. When looking at nature and animals you

realize that everything has a unique place and funtion in this world. We are different

because we can Choose our own place and function and we are able to think freely.

So being able to think for ourselves is actually our own shortcoming. Many people

blame religion for there problems but fail to see that yet again Man figures out a way

to ease his mind of the guilt by pointing the finger elsewhere. You blame religion,

I blame people.

I'm a Christian and I smoke daily. I've realized that I'm in control of every that I do.

So if I mess up I have no one to blame but Myself. I Love God and am thankful

that he chose our species to carry this gift we all have but many never use.
