drugs seperate your connection to the divine. that is why muslims and other religions do not drink. Or use.
Anyway I think that once you've accepted Jesus as Gods gift and payment for your sin debt you're gonna be alright. Everyone questions things, it's human. Just like every human being has thought about suicide at some point, it's normal. If you were to stop using drugs I know you would re-establish your eternal connection with God and Christ. It is the correct way, and there is nothing that is more important in this life.

it feels like it connects you with the cosmos and the universe for sure. I liked watching sunsets, the colors would be so bright and beautiful. And looking at the stars Id think about light VS darkness. so cool. I dont do that stuff anymore tho. as you get older and have more negative experiences happen in life it taints your overall view of things I think. shit isnt rainbows and cheese no more.
@jokeshop. my favorite times in life have been in meditation and having conversations with God.

fundamentalist notions? oh really?
Well if you dont believe in 5 things then you are not a Christian...
-virgin birth -the diety of Christ (Jesus being he is who he says he is.... God in living flesh). -the trinity (father, son, holy spirit) -resurected from death -his coming again
if you dont believe those 5 things. you're not a Christian. You're something else.

interesting. I go by what the bible says, since it is the word of God. I'm not aware of anything else.

The holy bible is the word of God. Notice it is timeless, written 2000 years ago it is still relevant today. isnt that amazing?
its not called the holy quran. lol and whoever believes in that shit needs seriously their head examined.
Also God loves the Jew. They are his elect and his chosen. And despite how many people want to destroy Israel, God will give Israel an everlasting name. so in other words it's not happening.

Since I hold such strong beliefs about religion and how christians basically believe that god created his son inside the whom of a virgin (impossible) had him die on the cross for my sins, rise to life after being dead for 3 days then ascending to heaven for all of eternity (impossible.).
First, Jesus WAS born to a virgin. He was God in human flesh. and Jesus was perfect, he needed to come in untainted and untouched by sin.
God sent Jesus here as a gift, so that those who believe in him will have everlasting life. he came here to die on our behalf, to pay our sin debt in full because God knows no man is perfect. And there is no one else who can or even would account for our mistakes. If God didn't send Jesus, that leaves just us. Personally I dont want to account for anything I've done, and my answer will be that my acceptance wont be because I deserve it (because I dont) but because he PROMISED.
I always thought that if I treated people well and I did good things for others that should suffice in Gods eyes, but I was wrong. It does not matter the good works you do or how well you treat others.
The fact is that rejecting Gods sacrifice of the death of his only begotten son is a slap in his fucking face. The gracious thing to do would be to accept his gift and say thank you. And logically what is there to lose by believing this? Nothing. If it turns out to not be true then you are out nothing. you die still having lived a good life. But If it IS true, well then it is the most important thing in this life. There is nothing else more important than this. I hate people who hate God.

I believe Jesus is God, and as so existed long before coming to earth taking human form. When he's coming back is what I'm more concerned about.
