Are you Christian meaning that you believe Jesus was born to a virgin, crucified to forgive all our sins, and then ascended into heaven?:wtf:
Or are you closer to the historical Christians that were a small sect that wanted to overthrow the Romans and corrupt Jewish officials and that Jesus was crucified because he was against the government?
You know that he had brothers and sisters and was married to Mary Magnolin and he didn't want to change the religion, just rid it of corruption. He wanted his brother James and Mary to take over the cause after his death.
He was a great man but equal to Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
:thumbsup:
You are absolutely correct but I wanted to add even more benefits. Because the 'Land of the free' won't allow any research to done on it except at the Mississippi College that still grows for 5 patients. But I have found a lot of scientific research from Canada, Holland, and a few others. Just before the 1937 Tax Stamp, the Dr's not knowing the propogand word 'marijuana' meant cannabis, they had just started discovering a wide range of health problems that cannabis would work great for. They had even discovered that the cannabanoids help fight cancer cells so they were very excited and then extrememly angry when they found out a few short days before the vote. They testified but it didn't matter because the whole point was to make a law that would help the police arrest Mexicans and then Blacks.
This plant is so amazing, besides the health benefits, and as a vegetarian afraid of soy, learning how much better the protien is in Hemp seeds makes me ecstatic.
It also produces cloth, constuction: higher quality than wood!, Fuel, and best yet, it's a crop you don't need to rotate because of it's root system and if So Cal would just plant some on the hills they woudln't have to worry about mudslides. They historically did that until 1937.
Is that the one Soma, the author of Organic Growing I believe and owns a shop in Amsterdam, advocates?
You all seem so enlightened until I read people talking about the New Testament like it's a history book instead the based on a real story, with more being made up than any actual facts. Check out the Dead Sea Scrolls that were written right after the crucifition by his actual followers. I'd call that a historical document but not the New Testament. It was altered by the Catholic Church way back during Constantine and nothing in it is witnessed first hand. I know Jesus was a brave, great man who was a lot more political than religious, learned from Historians. And he never, ever claimed to be THE son of god. Come on, if you want an example from the Bible as to how that got easily written in, he said "we are all children of god"Quote:

:wtf:So am i going to hell because I have only entered a church for weddings in the past 15 years? Church is a sin. It's a waste of time when I could be at the park with my dogs instead of listening to all the hyopocricy and fictional readings and then the great Homily about how the church needs money.Quote:

:wtf:I'd love to hear your sources on all these miracles and that Jesus was the son of god, especially since he said we are all children of god. Do you believe Mary was a virgin too? And the Bible doesn't count as a source. It is not an accurate historical document, closer to a fairy tale based on a political leader pissed off that the Head Jewish Priests were in bed with the Romans. that is proven though actual, credible historical documents.Quote:

Also, the whole "my beliefs are right and yours are wrong" approach that most religious groups, no matter the religious affiliation, really put me off. I honestly believe that Cannabis can make the world a much more peaceful place; while most followers of major religions believe that MJ is the "Devil's Weed." I always marvel @ the power that prohibition and propaganda have. People are such sheep.

I think it is an easy mistake to turn Jesus into an idol. Idolatry is an attempt to find salvation outside of yourself in some form. The church has focused primarily on the body of Jesus when his real message was that Christ is inside of all of us, as God is. Never seek for salvation outside of yourself. God is spirit and has nothing to do with the body, or idols. That's why it is so hard to communicate with God. We are constantly asking for ephemeral idols when God can only offer the eternal.
