So few GC Christians...

Why is this? I see so many posts about agnosticism and atheism and it upsets me to see barely anyone, if anyone, repping Christianity. Is it a lack or faith, or lack of Saved out there?

Speak up! Come on!

For one, it'd be trollbait, and I can do without being pulled into arguments for which I'd risk getting banned, as has seemed to be happening more and more frequently.

Two, I can do without people forcing their agnosticism/atheism onto me, I was raised in an atheistic family, so I've heard my fair share of it, I just chose to reject it; so I try and avoid doing the same with my faith.

Thirdly, my faith is my own, and I prefer keeping it that way...

Having said that, nice to see this thread on the boards.

Glad to hear some fellows out there that can reconcile their use of herb with their Christianity, Genesis 1:29 does it just fine for me!

Partly because its the internet and what comes with letting people know your beliefs is hate, and partly because i think more people are focused on other aspects of the forum

silly question, we all are human beings.

Your on a for the devils plant

Cannabis use is usually an act of subversion. Subverting organizing systems of authoritarian belief seems to be a pretty casual progression of that.

I am progressing more into Christianity. My personal relationship with God is great. However, I still am a troubled guy hahaha.

I have recently stopped tokin' the leaf. Why?

I still have yet to know.

But some part of me feels, to have a close relationship, I should try and stop.
Been 3 years since I started. 3 very short years.

I cannot risk burning in hell, until I figure things out.

God bless gc, and my fellow brothers.

Don't worry about burning in hell. After all the rest of us non-Christians in China, virtually all of SE Asia, all the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Budhists etc will be going there too. You'll be in good company. Smoke up!

No disrespect honestly, but when a person smokes cannabis, their mind is expanded to new points of view and can see things much more clearly and usually when thinking about Christianity, it doesn't take long to realize there is not really much truth to the modern/literal interpretation of the bible.

That doesn't mean people who smoke aren't spiritual or don't believe in something other than what our eyes can see, but following a dogmatic religion that has a pretty ridiculous basis isn't really what stoners are normally into.

While dogmatism might not be their thing, many stoners make equally ridiculous claims as Christians, many under the guise of atheism. You see it everyday in this here forum.

Many of the Christian haters on this site possess a dogmatism which, while antithetical to mainstream Christianity, mirrors it in exactly every way.

It's not at all the same, but I see what you're getting at.

Funny how atheism comments weasel their way into MANY a topic, I've noticed... And there are very few christian posts in *this* section devoted to philosophy

Maybe cannabis really brings out the Truth in spirituality..

Sorry to double post... Still learning the forum.

Hey, buddy. As long as you're pure of heart and intention, and accept Christ as your savior, then you're good to go However, I really don't appreciate the negative vibes towards my religion. I'm not saying all of them will go to hell, and I would rather not think about that. Please, don't act so cynical regarding my religion. It is unwarranted and unappreciated.

Don't question the truth of my religion, or speak as if you're some otherworldly and enlightened being. I've smoked too, and I reconcile it with my religion just fine (Genesis 1:29) and just because you recognize the scope and intricacies of the universe, ranging from string theories to dark matter and other quantum mechanics, it's all breathtaking that my God would put so much detail and work into creating such a fascinating habitat for myself and fellow men.

Don't say my religious basis is ridiculous, it's just a nasty thing to say. You're just looking for trouble. I know PLENTY of smokers at my church and local area churches that are just as involved as I am. Herb and religion reconcile just fine, and is hardly different in purpose than the "transcending incense" burned in Catholic churches for communing.

If it's not your cup of tea, well, then this isn't the thread for you. I just hope you can respect our differences in philosophy.

Well I did say honestly no disrespect. I was just giving you my opinion on why not many blades here are christian.

And if you don't ask questions and simply follow, you will never have the truth. You must seek to find it.

---------------

Let me ask you this...have you researched the origin of the Bible? Do you know what scriptures have been left out? Have you read the Gospel of Thomas? Do you know who Constatine is?

If you said no to any of those questions and wish to know the truth, then I suggest you to dig a little deeper and research your religion more.

Again I'm not disrespecting you or your religion...I'm just pointing out some things you may have missed.

I dunno what it is about your christians that make you so 100% guaranteed positively devoted to your opinion and belief in this scripted god, his creation story and the likes of his human incarnate/son and the rest of the bible. I appreciate the bible for it's deeper messages that they convey through parables and other passages, but I just really can't believe the rest of the "history" behind this universe and planet because there is absolutely no way of knowing how this earth was created - especially in such detail as to what specific day these things were so instantly created.. that's just rubbish.. and the fact that there are so many different religions that have different stories for this universe just proves my point further that there really is no truth in any of it .. how could there be when every one "is the right one" you feel me?

I'm honestly not even bashing it, although you could argue otherwise.. i'm simply just trying to spread some logical thinking because I put much value to it and I think everyone else should too, it will make this world a better place.

Anyways, you read that.. I know it won't change anything but I just want you to know my opinion JUST in case

You can't say no disrespect and then... Well... Disrespect me. Was this not covered in The Other Guys?

And this is not a trial of my faith, or my pursuit of truth. Quit making it out to be one. I'm sufficiently versed in scripture, both within and beyond the King James texts. Please, just leave. I've had my share of tribulations and am confidant in my faith, and the truth behind it.


You are trolling, and I won't take part in it anymore. If you have anything nice to say, or anything that does not question the nature of my religion, feel free to post it, if not, find another audience because I won't play your games.

lol if me asking you some questions is disrespecting you, well then...idk

I'm just trying to have some constructive and polite conversation. There is no need to take offense.

I'm not understanding why we can't have a conversation? Maybe you know something I don't and I'm trying to learn from you? Geez man...

Lol you heavy devoted christians are honestly so ridiculous
