Why God gave us weed

[wayoftheleaf]

I was stoned listening to pink floyd when it hit me why God gave us weed. HE didn't give us weed he just put it here for adam and eve. Since he knew we were all gonna be here and stuff because he knows everything he wanted to help us come about. so what he did was plant a lot of seeds and stuff in the garden and had eve cook with a bunch of it. Then them guys got the munchies bad and their world was all like woah. Because seriously, if God was gonna give you some weed he is gonna give you the SHIT most likely ten times better than anything we have today. there had to be all kinds of mj back then that we can't even imagine. Eve had to be like that fruit looks so good and she gives it to adam.

My other theory is that weed IS the fruit of knowledge. it makes sense to but isnt as fun to think about as the first one.

[S.P.Q.R.]

Haha.. wait, what?

[wayoftheleaf]

God planned it all out but Eve didnt wanna disobey god by eating the fruit of knowledge so what god did was give them weed. so after they ate it or lit up they got really hungry so they ate the fruit.

[orangeman]

Your high as hell :p.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Lol, what are you smoking?

Added: Oh yeah, and I honestly laughed out loud at this thread.

[wayoftheleaf]

lol its just some stuff my mom gave me. My dad buys the good stuff. i cant afford it lol. no idea what he buys gonna have to ask her sometime. But it makes sense to me...

btw i came up with this when i WASNT high lol. i just wrote it when i was

[orangeman]

Wow, your lucky.

quote from my mom

"I dont care if you smoke weed or anything, you can even do it in front of me, but i am gonna ignore it and act like your not, as long as you dont do any man made drugs. God doesnt want you to do those*hits a bong*but he gave us weed for a reason now. I just cant remember what it is"

[orangeman]

Omfg I hate you lol, my mom doesnt care about me smokin but she isnt like yours. If I had kids I'd treat them just like you lol. This is unfair :(.

[Oneironaut]

You believe in Adam and Eve and all the incest babies their kids had? That's funny.

Weed came about through natural selection, and it's just a wonderful coincidence that this plant happens to have a substance that resembles chemicals our brains use to regulate hunger and mood. And that this plant is one of the few plants that actually tastes good when smoked.

[AlwaysBlazed]

My dad lets me smoke, my mom would kill me if she knew I was still smoking.

[wayoftheleaf]

hell yeah i believe in adam and eve. I am a rebel, south ftw.

Natural selection happens, but i think that thinking we crawled out of a bunch of primordial ooze as bacterium to evolve into what we are today is a bunch of prime cooked BULL SHIT.

Not trying to convince you or anything but if they were the first 2 humans, imagine the genetic variation they contained. The reason you really can't pull off incest today is because

1. Its disgusting in our culture
2. The variation of genes between brother and sister is too low

And you end up creating kids with serious health problems and whatnot.

Too many damn athiests on these boards.

Why would they choose that fruit over the wonderful selection of the most delciously tasting fruit imagineable (our minds can't even imagine how much better things back were in the garden)?:rasta:

If that were the case then essentially weed is satan!! Satan was the one to decive eve, therefor he must have been weed it's self. But, the bible says he disguised himself as a serpent so thankfully weed didn't have anything to do with it...

[wayoftheleaf]

what satan did was give eve a joint and told her man doesnt that fruit look good haha.

[kayy]

THIS WAS FUNNY

[MyMARYJANE]

haha this kinda reminds me of a song .. "what if god smoked cannabis" cannabis being pronounced cannaBUS. i think theres more than one version of this song.. or other songs with the same title.. but the one im thinking of is from a chick.. sounds kinda like mayb jewel or alanis morisette or something some of it goes like (u sing it like the song what if god was one of us):

if god had long hair and a gotee
and if his eyes were pretty glazed.. if he looked spaced out
would you buy his story? would u believe he had an eye infection? and yeah yeah god looks baked.. yeaaa yea god smells goood.. yea yea yea yea yeaaaaaaaaaa

what if god smoked cannaBUS (thats how u pronounce it)
hit the bong like some of usss
drove a tye-dye micro bus
and he subscribes to rolling stone

when god made this place, in the begining did he plant any seeds
or did he put them there for adam and eve
so theyd be hungry for the apple that the snake was always offerin
and yea yeaaaa god rolls great.. yea yea god smells good yea yea yea yea yeaaaaa

what if god smoked cannabuss
do u suppose he had a bus?
when he made the plattapus,
when he created earth our home
does he like pearl jam or the stones?
and do u think he rolls his own up there in heaven on the thrown?
and when the saints go marching home.. maybe he sits and smokes a bowl

maybe wrong.. maybe right? but yea its sweet

[Oneironaut]

Too many damn athiests on these boards.
Learn how to spell "atheist" before you think you know enough about atheism to dismiss it without question.

[Krogith]

you belive there is no god that everything came from nothing and created it self. this makes your life pointless and all mankinds life pointless in 3000 years the earth will be distroyed and nothing but dust all to start over all over. this idea bring about the idea that distruction is life all will suffer and nothing means anything because it will all be dust once more eventuly. so life of you or i mean nothing all pointless. so in your world you should just kill off everything around you and take it all over for your self. what a crappy way to look at your self. I choose that life has meaning and all life is a gift. Love all

[Oneironaut]

you belive there is no god
Correct...

that everything came from nothing and created it self.
I never said that. For all I know, maybe the matter and energy in the universe has existed forever. Maybe it came from nothing. But whatever happened, I have no evidence to suggest that the universe came from a supersmart superpowerful sky wizard, whose origins are no less mysterious than the origins of the universe itself.

this makes your life pointless and all mankinds life pointless
No, it makes us free to define the purpose of our own lives. We're not just pawns in a giant chess game, just toys of the magical sky wizard or characters acting out the scripted lines of the divine plan. Atheism gives us the freedom to make our own lives mean whatever we want them to mean, not whatever the gods designed it to mean.

in 3000 years the earth will be distroyed and nothing but dust all to start over all over.
Three thousand years?! Wow, that's news to me! Care to tell me where you got that information. I was under the impression that we had at least another 3 billion years before the sun expands and life is extinguished.

Face it, everything is temporary. Life is temporary. You and I are temporary. The world is in a constant state of change, and nothing can last forever, no matter how much it fantasizes about immortality.


this idea bring about the idea that distruction is life all will suffer and nothing means anything because it will all be dust once more eventuly. so life of you or i mean nothing all pointless. so in your world you should just kill off everything around you and take it all over for your self. what a crappy way to look at your self.
That's not how I think at all. Just because I'm not a slave to the purpose forced upon me by some cosmic dictator does not mean my life is pointless. It means I get to live for what I want to live for. I don't live for some barbaric ancient text, or some invisible wizard in the sky, or some imagined state of blissful immortality. I live for me, I live for my species and I live for life.

Just because life is temporary doesn't mean it's pointless. It just means that the meaning of your life exists in the present but won't exist indefinitely into the future. But you don't need to worry about that, because you're only ever going to experience the time you're alive and your life will have meaning as long as you assign meaning to it.

[Krogith]

so you can say this cosmic energy has been around or you say atoms have been around but refuse to think something set all these things up for you? what tells you to not except a higher power that has design? but somehow you except the simple thing being around.

[Acouwaila]

Well actually that sounds decent. I have a theory that goes like this...

It is very likely that during the paleolithic era and perhaps before...that man used to starve themselves as a way of dealing with depression or bad emotion (like how emo people cut themselves)...and it is likely that God created marijuana to help heal the mental pain and also is used as a way to communicate with man telling him/her to eat and to feel better. its as if God wants to make our existance as good as possible on this earth that he has created for us. And if you think about it....only society and humans are the cause of depression.

hahah my mom is the same way hahahahaha

[Oneironaut]

Without evidence, yes, I refuse to think something that ridiculous.

what tells you to not except a higher power that has design?
What tells you to not accept a flying spaghetti monster that has design? The lack of evidence, of course!

but somehow you except the simple thing being around.
Show it to me already! If you can give me a good argument why it must exist, or better yet some concrete evidence, that would be great, but I'm just not seeing anything like that.

I can't just make myself believe in gods any more than I can just suddenly make myself believe in leprechauns. I'd have to see some conclusive evidence that leprechauns exist before my brain will accept as true the idea that they do in fact exist. My brain has this funny thing called rationality where ideas aren't accepted as true unless there's good evidence to believe that they are true.

So, where's the evidence of this god? How did you detect the existence of this god? What properties can we say this god has, based on the available evidence? Which god is it, and which gods is it not?

[Krogith]

im saying you belive a complex thing such as a ATOM could exsist forever but not a God to create them. Useing your same idea I belive something set all this up, why is that not such a strech?

[wayoftheleaf]

let me tell you something, you believe that other planets exist. You KNOW other planets exists. you have never seen mars or pluto, yet you KNOW they exist. Because you have been raised all your life by people KNOWING they exist.

This is the same idea just on a much more complex level. I know God exists because ive died and ive been in hell. You can say that it was a slight subconcious thing showing me what happened. But i was turtured in hell for what seemed like two eternities before the docters brought me back to life. I HAVE seen the other side, that IS my concrete evidence. who knows maybe you should be beat with a metal bat and hopefully revived after you die like i was and find out for yourself.

[fikusroot]

Are there pictures of god or godrocks that they let you touch at the museum? Have you ever looked through a telescope and seen god? I'm going to have to call bullshit on you're dying story too. I dont really believe in god because I know why people believe in God in the first place. once you see the fact that there is a definate HUMAN longing for a higher power, you will see that the arguments by HUMANS are biased and unscientific and science is the closest thing we have to the truth. And if there is a god, then I guess I'm fucked.

[Krogith]

i guess you do NOT belive in air? I can;t find any pictures :confused:

[fikusroot]

But you can feel it. You can't take pictures of sound either but it's still there, except when I think it's there but it isnt...

[Krogith]

do we see the effects that lack of god brings... i say yes this world today shows what lack of god means death distruction.

[wayoftheleaf]

Honestly you sound more like an annoyed teenager than someone argueing a case for athiesm.

[fikusroot]

Are you talking about me or Krog? Because I am an annoyed teenager. I guess it's not so much that I condone athiesm as I hate organized religion and all that it represents. I've kind of gotten to the point where I see believing in god as a sign of weakness.

[Krogith]

Jesus teaching have been forgotten. If you draw close to Jesus you can draw close to God. most religions of today are FALSE you can easly tell who they are. People who suport WAR or suport collections and who serve idols are FALSE. They are just as much of this system of things as WAR and HATE.

[wayoftheleaf]

meant to say against* krogith is really hurting his own case.

[Krogith]

my case is following what jesus tought, not my fault christians idolize a cross not my fault they pray for WAR or for a side. Christians are killing christians, muslems are killing muslems they kill eachother all who pick up the Sword will Die by it.

[led.zeppelin]

Gods never given me any weed. I usually have to earn my weed

[Krogith]

god gave us this earth and weed grows. if we all lived under jesus' rule and apply his teachings we would all be shareing and helping eachother. GREEDY people are the reason we are where we are today. Greed made eve and adam choose to not listion to Jehovah and wish to rule and run them selfs. Everyone has a chance to come to know god and want to seek him out and apply what his teachings are. Thoses who don't wish to be ruled have a chance right now to Prove that they do not want God and they will die


GREED & HATE will distroy you don;t give in
