I went into one of the old missions in San Diego once when I was cactusing. It was pretty intense.

Christianity makes no sense.
"lets worship a jew but not be the slightest bit Jewish"
jesus was a godless zionist, a perfect icon for Christianity..

Yeah, imo psychedelics and christianity don't mix at all. It blows my mind that some people can do both. I wonder how long until they realize their religion is completely metaphorical and start drawing the sacred connections in nature as their own god.
I know that sounds biased as shit, but being on psychedelics has made me realize that the only things worthwhile that religions have, are things that they all share in common. The recognition of higher intelligence, the humility, the need for compassion, etc. All the silly names and technicalities have jack shit to do with being a better human being or living a fulfilling life. Beyond all that there is a lot of truth, but people get caught up on the color of gods skin, how god is manifested, what his preferences are, how he created us, etc without realizing that they are the living and breathing expressions of "god" all along and that all those questions can be answered by observing the world around you

I was raised Roman Catholic, but I drifted away once I learned about all the flaws and fallacies. As much as I try not to shit on religions, Christianity has disappointed me, and has not provided me with as much inner peace and content spirituality with my own beliefs, as well as guidance from Buddhist principles.
Also, Jesus was the shit. He tried to teach LOVE and COMPASSION, which is what the Christian religion should be centralized around. I would hug Jesus so hard if I ever saw him, he was mad cool and a really awesome revolutionary!

I went to a buddy's church one time and we were high as fuck on meth.
We like talked the whole time and afterwards the preacher came down the aisle and straight up to me and tried to get me to join their church. It was pretty weird.
I've been to church stoned and hungover many times.
I'm so done with that shit. Fuck organized religion!

I switched to Islam from tripping I think or from the influence of my ex girlfriend. I like it better than Christianity although Islam and Christianity are basically the same religion, the main difference is Muslims don't recognize Jesus(Isa) as the messiah and Mohammed is the prophet. The Qur'an is a little more boring to read than the Bible if you don't know how to read Arabic since it's meant to be read in Arabic because the Qur'an is sort of a epic poem that doesn't translate to English well, you can still make sense of it but you don't get the beautiful poem. I agree that religion is just metaphors mostly.
The prophet Mohammed said not to take intoxicants. If too much is bad than a little is bad. But most psychedelics aren't toxic at all and you can't never take to much lol, you always get something good outta high doses.

I'm glad you can see that. People like you give me hope. I just hate when human progress is stopped because people get hung up on the details that don't matter rather than seeing the true message that religion has to offer. The true message is quite beautiful, though sadly the average joe can't learn to read between the lines. I think when it comes down to it, you could probably combine all religions are realize that all those people who bicker and fight about shit really have a lot in common. But the damn details...

Yep all the major religions share the same overall message, it's crazy how humans kill each other of little details that don't even matter. Hinduisms the only really different one but it can still be encorporated into other religions, like when u reunite with Brahmin is when u go to heaven and ur reincarnated to perfect ur soul b4 u can enter the kingdom of heaven or something idk. Hinduism is a really cool theory and religion. There's no God in Buddism, but Buddisms not really a religion, it's a way of life, many people r Buddist plus another religion.

I find that most people just try to find a religion that suits their personalities nowadays thanks to modern technology. That said, I formed my own beliefs and they fell in line with pantheism and so I chose to follow my own path however, I now prefer to identify myself as pagan because pantheism is nature loving and pagans are nature loving and they are also much more open minded and open to other philosophies. Of course, some are just nuts.
Technically any religion that isn't an Abraham religion could be considered pagan such as Buddhism but typically Buddhist never proclaim pagan, it's more of a western thing and a nature lovers thing. It's also for shaman cultures, animism and polytheists. I associate my beliefs with all of the latter wih the exception of polytheist although I find them interesting.
I don't really care for any philosophies that aren't pagan including Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, ect ect. Christianity ain't so bad though, it's the people that have distorted its true value.

Yeah i would love to read more into hinduism. But even like christianity and a lot of atheists. "Bow before the beauty of god and be humbled" vs god "Appreciate the beauty of nature and understand your place". REally aint that fucking different unless you want to start arguing details. But if you can agree that there is some higher order existence to the life you live and be humbled by it then thats all that really matters. That's where the true message lies in how to live your life, how to interact with others, and how to view yourself in perspective to the rest of existence
