I think christianity is very widespread and to me seems like the most popular religion but I live in a very christian society so that is what I mainly learn about.Religion confuses me and I don't know what to believe because you hear different things and things seem to change,I just don't get it.
All religion in our pre schools have been thrown out in the last few years. The Teachers Board say young children shouldnt be persuaded in anyway about any type of religion. When in high school its their choise to take up that subject. Fair play!
Peace
(as you can probably tell i dont belive in any type of "God" )
Religion is a very confusing topic because no human vessel can comprehend the complexities that follow it, much less explain them in anything resembling detail.
So, the primary religion on the British Isles is infact Christianity, eh? Here in American it's one big pot of shit, and the dominant nuggets are Christianity and Islam.
Fucking perfect combination I might add! Grade A.
Well the Bible does say obey the laws of the land so it would be wrong in some sense but I dont think you'd be held accountable because the law is bullshit (even though its still wrong to disobey it lol). But as for selling it to people, no. marijuana is not harmful. Now if you were selling meth or angel dust you might as well be the grim reaper and you would be held accountable. It's almost like assistant suicide even though the people choose to buy it your still the supplier which means if you never sold it they couldnt get it (atleast not from you).
But my family is Christian so this is why I know what the Bible says but I am not a Christian, I'm an Atheist. I think religions are just ridiculous. Humans claimed to have supernatural powers? Healing the blind, curing the deaf? Bringing back a dead man once his organs has already stopped?? Turning water to wine? Walking on water? I think not.
Yes, but the 'laws of the land' the Bible speaks are corrupt misinformation.Quote:

The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."
The authority?! God's servant?! You must be fucking joking. Reread the entire above quote, except say Rome for each time you see the word "God".
When the Apostle Paul wrote this shit he was under the government of Rome, which was being governed by a cock sucking emperor called Nero. This is another example of the human laws being written over the laws God originally intended.
"..This is also why you pay taxes." Nero had it all planned!
"I need to figure out a way to ween the masses -- use their ignorance as a means to their utter destruction; use them as slaves without their knowledge."
As I say time and time again; What better way to control the masses than to put the fear of God's wrath in the hearts and minds of the gullible.
Now, Acts 5:27-29 states: "Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this Name,' he said. 'Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.' Peter and the other apostles replied: 'WE must obey God rather than men'!"
From the quote above we can clearly see that as long as these 'laws of the land' don't try to supersede the law of God, we are bound to obey. As soon as the law of the land contradicts God's command, we are to obey God's law.
Now let's go back to Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30 where it states God created all the seeds and deemed them all good. We'll also note to take a look at 1 Timothy 4:1-5 for the part where it describes those who will promote its prohibition as those who have fallen away from the faith.
Might that faith include the TRUE laws of the land?!
What am I to believe -- a book of contradictions, or the lessons in history they represent? :clap:
i think with no religion there would be no peace at this point...Quote:

But that's the point!
For what?! Why are we even here if our entire goal is to get out of bed everyday and just strive to push forward?
It's a meaningless existence that can only be justified by creating religions in the first place as a means of consuming time and instilling some form of false hope.
Sorry to be blunt, but it's not cool.
..It's fucking disgusting.

As to whether its a sin or not - sorry, can't help you.
God is an imaginary friend for grown-ups.

when you die and go to your own minds creation of heaven or hell you will find out after getting bored of it that there are many dimensions to travel to. also good and bad are one in the same. for one to exist it needs the other just as light and dark
also the story of heaven and hell was made to keep the sheep in controll
