"the WAy of christ is kindness compassion and humble acceptace of fait. this was not really new at the time of christ. peple had been preaching similer if not exactly the same thing for millenia."
thats part of my point, notapillow, the person of christ is nothing new, it is something that is instilled in nature, something that is intimately a part of nature. and yes, ego is the only barrier in this discussion. we all have one, many of us strong ones.

Have you checked out the P&S forum? Fivepointer still posts his right-wing Christian hate speech there.

Honestly I don't really see too much of your particular story there. In the beginning I see you trying to get people here to relate to you in a way (the shroom and acid talk) then you throw out the usual religious catch phrases.

(im also speaking to the guy that posted this in the first place. and i think i agree with a lot of you, but that's beside the point. the point i am trying to make is that most of the things that all of us value, ego dissolution, love peace, harmony, truth, uprightness and the like, these things ARE what christ is, and not just something that we do)
thats more or less exactly what i said. christ. son of god, virgin man or dog. was a smart dude. his words have been broken down through a milleneas old game of telephone. take what peace you can from the words of christ and from the bible. it is a tool for learning. not sculpting humainity, socialy or peronaly.

God is not for everyone, neither are drugs. I will assume that most people can decide what choices to make with a good rationale for their actions. As long as you are happy with your choices, then drug use or god use shouldn't matter. Neither is ultimately superior, at least while alive. Can't let use of either get too extreme, or it can be harmful to your health. Something to consider.

I was raised in a Christian home and one of my bigger problems with Christianity is that "God" is susposed to be all knowing. Well, why is it he gives us free will. "God" knows when I am born whether or not I am going to Heaven or Hell. That is not free will. Doesn't that seem kinda sodistic.
Happiness is the key to life. If "God" makes you happy, good for you. If drugs makes you happy, good for you also.
As for me.....I believe in me.

Why can't they get a little more cult-like and drink strychnine kool-aid at the next worship. Right after that they can go string harps with their invisible friends.

Because the true meaning of christianity is to piss off everyone that doesn't waste hours of their lives over it every week, and spends it doing something better, like taking a dump, or sleeping.
