the gods gave us pot, poppies, shrooms and wine man gave us marinol, heroin, pcp and everclear. major difference.
Well the technical answer is yes, it is condemned by I think all major churches (probably most minor ones as well). However, I do not personally believe so since I'm more atheist than anything.
In the words of Satan: The dro grows from my footsteps I'm the one that they follow I am the one that they march with Through the back-alleys And the black markets The Oval office And the crack houses and apartments Through the mazes of the queens The pages of the sages And the chambers of the kings Through the veins of the fiends The paper-chaser's pager Yo, I'm famous on the scene One of the oldest Most ancient of all things I speak every single language on the planet Know what I mean? I am the American dream The rape of Africa The undying machine The overpriced medicine The murderous regime The tough guy's front And the one behind the scenes I am the blood of this city It's gas, water, and electricity I'm it's gym and it's math and it's history The gunshots in the class And you can't pass if you're missing, G I taught them better than that I taught them to aim for the head And hope they never come back I'm glad your daddy's gone baby I hope he never comes back I hope he's with your mother With my hustlers High in my trap I hope you die in this trash I can't help that all you hear when you're crying is laughs I'm sure somebody'll find you tied in this trash Behind the hospital Little baby crack addicts had And maybe you can grow up to be a stripper A welfare recieving protituting gold-digger You can watch on TV how they should properly depict ya The rivers shall flow with liquors Quench your thirst on my elixers I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway And the resister The trusted misleader The number 1 defender From a thrown of their bones, I rule These fools are my fuel So I make them cool Baptise them in the water from Scarface's pool And feed them from the table that held the Corleones' food If you die tell them that you played my game I hope your bullet holes become mouths to say my name.
Hi young dude, and I was offended, too, by all that unnessary crap about God. I am a devout believer, and I have been convicted that weed is Not a sin - particularly if you injest (as in eating) it. I have been tokin for 30+ years, but I do not do other "stuff". Stand up for what you believe in, and: using weed and being a Christian are not mutually exclusive. Check out Genesis 1: 29,30 "And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed;to you it shall be as meat...wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." I have wondered why those verses would even be In the Bible, if not to assure us that marijuana is fine with Him.
You guys can be offended all you want. Do Christians worry about offending anyone when they try to force their beliefs on others? Nope. God's overly-righteous ass can go to hell, for all I give a fuck
LOL, Dude. Way to be antireligious. Like I said before I believe in God and I trust that weed is a gift and not a curse. Just enjoy and don't spread the hate. Happy hunting all.
Do you believe all other drugs are a sin to take? or for that matter other natural drugs?... cacti.. fungii.. opium.. datura.. ayahuasca?
yes it is a sin and ur going to hell, now go blare your rockin and rollin music and grow out your hair as u become just another pawn in satans army. but for real all the priests ive ever asked (and ive asked probably around 7) said it was a sin.
well thats because more priests are extreme conservatives.. they wag their fingers at pot heads.. while they sit at home and pop their prescription meds while having a couple glasses of sangria
As long as it is natural - and not abused, no I don't think it's a sin. I think things like peyote and mescaline and Certain mushrooms are made to aid one on a spiritual journey, such as the vision quests of Native Americans. As far as sin goes - I believe God is a lot more concerned about we treat our fellow humans, how our true heart is, much more than if we smoke weed or eat it. The bible is even all for drinking a bit of red wine - that was Jesus's First Miracle - turning the water into wine for a wedding party! And it was described as quite good wine - meaning, to me, that it would give quite a buzz. The key is moderation. That is a concept - moderation - few people seem to get. I appreciate you asking.
How about if we inject heroin, smoke crack, eat dozens of pills, and drink bottles of liquor, but are still kind-hearted, treat people right, and have genuinely good intentions? Moderation isn't always necessary, so long as you take the proper precautions and know what you're doing. Moderation is recommended, but not necessary.
my response, tongue in cheek as it was, was meant to illustrate something. Lighten up. To someone, somewhere, something's a sin. My commenting that god smoked weed would be called a sin by quite a few, but I think people seem to forget that god has a grand sense of humor, and the evidence is all around us in the sheer absurdity of some of life's aspects. Besides, if god is everywhere, and in everything, then god is just as present in a bud or a mushroom as he is in the sacrament, or the first breath of dawn, or a lover's touch. The only real sin, I believe, is distancing yourself from this communion with god by abuse of these things, by forgetting the divine in all things, by forgetting that a cross is no more holy than the mud from which we were presumably made, by forgetting that our first temples were caves and arching tree-vaults over grassy clearings. All nature is god's creation. How then, would weed be a sin? Instead, the misuse of it would be the greater. but what do I know? I'm not even christian.
