"WARNING: The Post-Larval Must Be Very Cautious in Communicating with Larval humans.
And some other such as: One cannot use the language of the butterfly to communicate with caterpillars."
I think this is an excellent example of how the holier-than-thou Christian community is really no different from the more-enlightened-than-thou psychedelics community.
To the Christians, EllemyshShade was a lost soul, who had yet to find truth. To you, it's the Christians who are the lost souls.

Very true. Its unhappy that there is no middle ground. All I was doing is relating how drugs have impacted my life positively, but these people couldn't even see how that was possible.
Just as I couldn't even see how it was possible that they could *not* consider that.
All about perspective I guess...

im actually really curious as to what her response would have been to your PM. it could have been quie the debate. anyway, like what the other guys said, good for you for sticking up for yourself. are you still thinking of going back to christiianity? itd be a shame to stunt your spiritual quest just because organized religion soiled god's name. even though its not really my path as i am an athiet, ytou gotta go your own way.

I never went back after I wrote that PM just like I said I wouldn't. She may have written me back, but I never knew.
I will probably never consider myself a "Christian" in the traditional term, even though I believe in some elements involved with Christianity. And yeah...I'm staying clear of organized religion. Its hard though, when your parents are as rigidly fundamental as the people on that site. My parents are always asking me to go to church with them, and if I don't they give me an unbearable guilt trip.

BLAH I can't even bother to read that. I read half way and the blindless your respondent replied with is just utterly infuriating.
