Is it a sin?

Personally I feel that if you are someone who smokes weed or someone who has done any drugs what so ever you should believe in God. I mean wow, some of the trips I have been on, I believed that Walt Disney was God. Nothing like watching Fantasia after taking LSD. Now, I will explain several details of how I believe that smoking weed is not a sin. I am going to try and keep it short, so believe it or not I am going to cut thigs down a bit and explain some things in simple terms. I could go on about this for pages otherwise.

I personally believe that organized religion is the one that has let us down. If you really study religion you will find that they are the ones who decided what you should believe in and what you should practice. Sins are like religious laws and laws were ment to be broken at least by some people. It does not make you week or wrong it just makes you different than other people. Nothing wrong with being unique. You don't need to follow any religion to believe that there is something out there that put this whole world together for you. Just look at the complexity of the human hand or rain or the stars for that matter. I also beleive in evolution as well. I will use the modern computer as an example, or should I say modern computer programing. Remember that whole scare we had with the Y2K crap. Everyone learned then that the same basic building blocks of all computers and computer programs are still using the same code that was written years ago. I believe that God is also the same way. He or She built the world to support life and what ever form that life took was up to nature. Even in Genisis it states that we are made from clay and that we were shaped and created. Think of clay as the building blocks and then think of time as shaping. Many people are of the opinion that the first seven days of the bible took place over many thousands of years and that things did not happen in an instant. Therefore it took that time to create man. I think the dinosaurs took place around day two.

Anyway this note is growing longer than I wanted to get into but I still have to make another point. As you can see this is something I am passionate about. Anyway, the basic tenant of modern Christian belief is that Christ Died for our sins. So, therefore, according to this thougt, even if you do sin you will still go to heavan. This is the main rule of my new church. The Church of Dave. Even if you don't believe in God, you will be sin free because you are already fogiven.

I feel that a lot of these "laws" or sins are a lot like a lot of our current laws, they were written in a different time when things were different and the law was created for a reason even if it was a stupid reason. I will give you another example, other than the one that pot is against the law, because we all know that the current laws about pot are wrong. Anyway. It is a sin in the Jewish religion to eat pork. That law was written in the Talmud the Jewish version of religious law. It was done so many many many years ago because people where getting sick from eating pig. So therefore it was bad for you. Now with more modern methods for rasing pork and that we have all learned how to cook it properly that law should no longer apply but because it is written in a very old book, then there are thousands of people who don't eat something because it's a "sin". Another example of eating food and or not eating food because it is a sin. Even though it was changed by the last pope it is still true today that most Catholics still eat fish on Fridays. The reason that this was made a law in the Catholic Religion was that the fishmongers went to The Pope many years ago and said to him that they were going poor because people were not buying fish. So, the pope decided that all Catholics should eat fish on Friday. Oh, and by the way the fishmongers were ordered by this pope to pay a percentage of the profits to the church.

Needless to say that I have typed a lot and need to get back to work but in other words if you think it is a sin, it is a sin. If you feel that this sin is in error then correct this problem then it is not a sin. If you are afraid even more about your mortal soul then consult the bible. There is nothing in it that says it is a sin, other than keeping your body pure. Now, I could talk about the purity of your body but I will not.

My last comment is that it is not a sin. Even if it is against the law or against any religious laws then these law need to be reformed. Let's get with the times people!

Peace!

 

No proof of the big bang? LOL ok.

 

Only because it goes with my handle, and no I'm not a Buddhist.

 

Turn on your television, and go to a channel you do not receive. About 3% of that fuzz is the leftover radiation that bathes the entire universe and keeps it at a toasty 3 Kelvin (-454F, -270C). No respectable scientific theory will say that the first forms of life materialized out of thin air. Good thing they don't. If you want the current paradigm's best explanation of how the first life started, I recommend reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. The second chapter is a description of how science believes the first bit of inanimate matter became life. It is absolutely amazing and will rock your world.

Remember that with science, it's always more than speculation if it's an accepted theory. The Big Bang has TONS of evidence for it, from the radiation it left, to the fact that space is expanding and galaxies are rushing away from each other at breakneck speeds measurable through the Doppler effect, to the fact that as you look deeper in space (and therefore back in time), everything is a lot more energetic and compact. Galaxies are hotter, more chaotic, and closer to each other. Extrapolate this to the nth degree and it would seem that at some point all the universe existed in a single mathematical point.

 

An excepted theory still is not fact, fact is when you know with absolute certainty. That three percent of the fuzz you speak of may be due to radiation, but is it from the so called big bang, who knows. No living creature that we know of witnessed this, so it still remains speculation.

Now this leans more to fact due to we can now see alot of what is happening in our surrounding universe with the advancements of telescopes and technology, but the big bang is still a theory based on speculation.

 

The galaxies are moving away from each other
This is called the doppler affect
you can hear it when a car passes
or an airplane
or you tilt your head to the music.

Who knows what happened at the "beginning" though

I'm sure it was some sort of orgasmic crescendo

 

You dont have to be a Buddhist to like the guy though. He was a cool cat.

 

Fuck religion and fuck science. We should all believe what feels right, for ourselves. Nothing else really matters, in the end.

 

I agree with fuck religion but fuck science? Science could one day prove that marijuana should be legal, and maybe take us to the end of the universe.

 

I don't mean it that way. haha I mean don't rely on science to determine the way you act and the way you feel about certain things. Just be yourself and disregard what anyone says, and do/believe what makes you happy and leaves you the most fulfilled.

 

Bring me their souls
Bring me babies, men, women, and animals
My victory over the almighty is very vital
Cut 6's in their foreheads
And burn the bibles
Now I'm snappin
And body snatchin
666 rappin
If the world shall end
I will be the one who makes it happen

Appropriate? hahahaha

 

do to a found NATURAL nuclear reactor in africa scientists are beginning to think the big bang theory is wrong

 

Oh well then nevermind, were on the same page man.

 

Find me a link, I would be rally interested to find out more.

 

ok ill see what i come up with

 

http://www.mentalfloss.com/magazine/

this is the best i can come up with and it doesnt really give you that much info. on it..unless you get the magazine

nice try, Einstein
By sam kean
Deep in the heart of Africa, there's a nuclear reactor created by Mother Nature herself, and it's spitting out strange elements that are challenging everything we know about physics. The Oklo reactor has already forced scientists to recalibrate the speed of light. And if the evidence keeps mounting, science may have to dethrone its patron saint.

 

As far as the orginal question....is it a sin? I highly doubt it, and as a matter of fact...

I think god smokes cannabis himself.

proof?

the platypus.
the dodo.
the hedgehog.
the armadillo.
the aardvark.

humans.

I rest my case.

 

^^^good points. haha

 

Though it would probably be more accurate to say he's smokin crack, because some of those things are too strange for even a pothead to come up with. lol God's a fuckin crackhead. hahaha

 

Too true, theres no way in hell a sober mind came up with those animals, either god was smoking something or it was on mushrooms.
