religious stoners?

im an athiest and im a stoner.

 

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.

 

I firmly beleive Guinness beer ran in jesus's veins. I think they should teach this in public schools.

 

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.

 

I consider myself agnostic. No one can know for sure

 

jesus smoked weed

 

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.

 

atheist...nothing to do with weed though, I never did believe those stories back in sunday school when I was little

 

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.

 

I have my own religion, I take belifs for many others and combine them.



And im a stoner heh


ALL HAIL THE WEED CHRIST; (lol I thought it would fit with the topic)

 

I used to be an atheist but I can definitely say that weed has made me more spiritual.

I've always had an urge to try and categorize and rationalise everything in my mind, but sometimes when I smoke I really let go and connect to the world through my heart. I remember several years ago, when I had started smoking, I was alone on my roof puffing a joint and looking at the stars. I was thinking about how huge they were, and suddenly the unimaginable immensity of the universe dawned on me. It humbled me to think that I could never even conceive how big or far a single star was.

It seems absurd to believe that we're even close to understanding the ways of the universe. I used to think that religion was something that helped people feel secure, but I've learned that actually the opposite is true. Closing your eyes to everything that's beyond your realm of analytical understanding is basically trying to negate anything that's outside of your control. There are higher powers than us at work, all you have to do is open your heart and you'll realize they've been there all along.

 

i smoked with a few chassidic jews and we all were chilling out (it was on the sabbath) but when we turned on music they had to leave because they didn't want to break it. so it was cool to see them stick with their morales even though they toked.

 

i used to be athiest. then i took acid.


(still not a fan of the classical Judeo-Christian God)

 

Listen up GC... And if you don't lsiten to me, listen to those two insigntful blades.

Religion was man's way to teach us how to live. A set of moral and ethical rules if you will. Thousands of years changed that. Now all it does is start wars.

I say fuck religion.

Think about this:

Most Judeo-Christian religions are about getting to heaven. Getting to paradise. I say fuck heaven. Fuck everyone in it. What about right now? What about Earth?

So because you wake up early every sunday morning and go listen to some old guy wearing bedsheets, that automaticly voids the 70+ years your going to spend here on Earth?

I dont know if there is a heaven. Nobody does. The one thing I do know is that there is reality. This is real. Take a breath. Pinch yourself. You can't escape this. Make the best of this time. You're going to die soon, and whether you believe in god and heaven or not, wouldn't you want to play it on the safe side and savor every last drop of life here on Earth?

I know when I'm on my deathbed, I don't want to regret a single thing. And I havent so far. Everything I do today shapes tomorrow.

 

some of the raddest words i have seen uttered in a long time. i couldn't agree with you more.

as far as my spirituality, i'm an athiest jew. i was born into a jewish family and grew up going to temple during high holy days. my family is very reform with religion. as far as judaism goes, i agree with the outlook jews have on life, but not god. i find it very respectable that as a religion, for the most part, jews do not force their religion onto others and that we respect peoples personal beliefs as long as they are not overboard. i am deffinitely an athiest as well though- probably moreso than i am jewish. i do not believe that there is any greater force that created the earth and can singlehandedly manipulate it. like alpha said the only thing humans really know is real is life and what is happening right now.

secondly, i am quite opposed to any extreme form of any religion. weather it be orthodox jews, evangelical christians, or whatever, i feel that putting your religion before your humanity is quite primative and in many cases is very non beneficial.
