Guess it depends on what god you are talking about. If you are talking about christianity then yeah it would be a sin. Everything remotely fun is a sin to the god of Christianity.
I'm hindu and marijuana's somewhat a part of the religion. I think it's connected with the god Shiva, one of the main gods. I don't know too much about it just what I've read here and there on the net, as what I've learned from parents from temple/religious activities doesn't really say anything about marijuana. There's a sacred drink called bhang which has cannabis in it which is used for spiritual purposes. One time when I was walking around in India, I saw this car roll by that had 5 priests in it and they were passing around a j.
I'm surprised 'Jesus Smoked Pot' didn't beat me to this....

peace :)
well im not a religious person but I belive If there is a god he put it here for a reason.
100%natural
DAMMIT FUEL , you did hahaha i dont check this board much , lol
yes jesus used pot , did he smoke it ??? no cause smokin it would be s in cause its harful to the body , not to bad but still a little
jesus used pot in oils but mosty he used it in eating it to cure and heal
but he never smoked it but he still used it other ways
I think he would afterall it is natrual in it. ;)
yes it is , so are shrooms
I'd think god would be more upset about everything else about society then a few people partaking in one of his plants ;) !
ya, but the catholic church teaches that if you use "mind altering substances" it is a sin, and since the catholic church is "perfect" (NO OFFENSE MEANT TO CATHOLICS!!!!! I am actually baptized Catholic) then I guess the Christian god is against it... but I take that to mean to abuse pot, thats my opinion...

God put pot here on the planet for a reason. For us to use it.

Well I was taught by sisters sooooo (they are CRAZY)
Thanks MRB041 for your Cypress Hill quote. I have used it myslef. In my opinion partaking of the essence is not a sin. Religion boils down to the individual. Organized religion often tells you what you need to believe. To keep you on the path to heaven you need to do this and that. Bullshit, to keep you on the path to heaven I think you just need to be a descent human being. You are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. Choose wisely.
I heard something about that GOD only dranked red wine.
The God I KNOW doesn't keep score. If that was the case, none of us would be able to make it. God sent his Son Jesus, to pay for our sin though FAITH in him. To make a long story short, A lot of you guys have some great points! :D If God created this earth, and EVERTHING in it, then weed has it's use. Is it a sin to get high? Maybe. BUT GOD DOESN'T KEEP SCORE! Jesus said "I have come to give you life, and life to the fullest." May not be wise to get drunk, high & what ever else, but I think we are all a work in process. I personally have spent enough time "seeking" God, and know he's real alright! ;)
gods awesome so YES!
and now you see why im athiest i dont have 2 worry about things like that...
GOD MADE POT, MAN MADE BEER. WHO DO YOU TRUST??
God also made poison ivy. Im tired of the "its natural so its okay". Its a poor excuse. There are plenty of plants and natural things growing out there that if you ate, smoked, or drank would kill you.
DTBW, what is poison to one it not poison to others. like poison ivy, it does not affect me. there are many animals that eat poison ivy for food.
i no some thing thow my god loves weed he is the weed dog dont like the outher dogs

That's just my personal opinion though :D !
I don't think ther is ANY facts on POt being bad for ur health, or destroying brain cells. That's just Bullshit the goverment tells u so u don't do weed (the goverments big cash crop) :D :D :D :) :eek: Did I shock someone???
I think God, whichever God u follow, is okay with us smoking pot. In fact, I think it's even encouraged. Most of the religions teach us that we should experience the world in every possible way, experience life, love life, love the world, and love each other...and what does pot do? Just those things. So long as pot doesn't rule nor ruin your life, then pot-smoking is definitely an activity not only approved of, but encouraged by whatever Higher Power put it here in the first place.
Allow me to school you kids right quick...and this is all you need to know about this topic.

Gah, the catholic church can kiss my ass, they also gave Hitler money to fund his concentration camps to make a more "Pure" society. So who cares what catholisism teaches, specially since they believe in ethnic cleansing.
Given that catholicism is only one form of christianity I'd say about a third of the population of the planet "cares what catholisism teaches". That figure was plucked out of thin air but you started it. The Vatican 'gave' Hitler gold because he said 'can we have it or should I destroy the vatican and kill everyone?' And "specially since they believe in ethnic cleansing." Huh? You personally have proof the Pope supports ethnic cleansing or your mate's friend's dad's butcher said he did?
See what you did!!!? You got me defending fucking catholics!!!
If you want to spew sectarian shite do it at home.

I'll have to agree with you Rogue. I think God only wants us to be happy without hurting other people or ourselves so maybe God encourages marijuana smoking more than drinking because you're not hurting anybody through doing so. Plus, ganja helps you to appreciate God's creations to a greater extent.
As with anything concerning sin, there is no strict commandment that covers this issue about whether or not you should be taking mind altering substances. However, there is only one "way" use of wine or marijuana is actually permitted. This is the way jesus used it, and any other person that wants a greater connection to your soul. If you are using it with the idea that it is a sacriment towards your god. As an aid to purify and silence your inner mind. If you meditate on the silence and stillness.
So, if you have the stillness of the mind under control, then wine and marijuana would not be altering your mind. Or if you have a really active mind, and these substances aid you in relaxing your thoughts, then it should be considered a mind alteration for the better.
If you are using these substances while thinking sinful thoughts, or committing sins, then, of course, it is definately also a sin.
Whoever teaches that having "mind altering substances" is a sin.
Someone said it, I wasn't really paying attention to names.
Perhaps you would like to know, that cannabis is a plant, grown by god, seeing as everything created on earth, was created by him.
I suppose you *COULD* argue that its a classic example of adam and eve, and the forbidden fruit, although chances are you'd be very hard pressed to use that arguement successfully.
Also, beer, or Ale as it was formally known, was in fact created by monks of the christian faith using water powered mill's to grind many of the ingrediants needed to make ale, they also used the water from the rivers ( that was powering the mill) as the liquid they used along with the ingrediants to make the ale.
So........................
God created weed.
Man, in the following of god, created ale.
I suppose, you could argue, that ale was in fact created by the egyptians, but due to their process of making ale, it was infact a very hard thing to drink.
Because they used 2 stones to grind the ingrediants together, which obviously left a small quantity of ground stone in the drink.
i think its interesting that ''man's'' idea of "god" is a white, male, man. Seems alittle fishy to me, i personally do not believe in "God." I think Darwin sums it up best when he said
"I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars."
Maybe "aliens" started life on earth, that is a thought i have been pondering lately.
Most of us are sinners who sin everyday so I don't think smoking weed will annoy him that much.
Our society has become so conditioned by the right-wing, christian, puritan ethic that certain things are sinful and therefore wrong. This stream of thought has caused more damage to people in this country than any substance, narcotic or otherwise, can ever do. Whether it be smoking a little weed or having sex, the christian right has literally TRAUMATIZED people into thinking that they will go to HELL for doing such simple, natural things as, for example, masturbation, having sex out of wed-lock because, well, you're horney, having sex with members of the same sex, having sex with members of the opposite sex, or just having sex, period. Such bullshit! There are more disfunctional people in this society due to these right-wing hypocritical bastards than any other element I can think of right now. Anyway, the concept of "sin" is just an oppressive tactic of control.
y the fuck do ppl come on here n badmouth other religionz...az if ery single person ov that religion supported n still supportz nazism er sum bullshit like that. get a fuckin life bud. n az fer the weed, i dunt think smokin weed iz a sin. itz natural. n wut other herb fer the service ov man cood he been talkin bout? oregano aint rlly used 2 the service ov man, juss flavourz the food. lol

I'm just curious since id prefer hell over being stuck with a bunch of mormons in heaven but if im good will I still get to go to hell? I just want to make sure I get to meet all those cool people from all those polytheistic societies after all they can't be in heaven either right? Plato surely is not in heaven he would never accept gods will since he was a huge supporter of Athena....And if one god is true then all of them are by the same basis of assumption. So the question is where are MY gods ,,,, where is my Ares, Hades , Zeus!! where's my Osiris, Isis and Set!!! damn me , damn me all too hell (sorry couldnt resist)
well this iz the major problem ov a religion dating back so far in history, back then EVERYONE thot that it b best that they wait till there married 2 have sex. now obviously nowadayz thingz r different, thingz have changed in the world. now ppl dunt care ta wait till their married, but i dunt think they think there goin 2 hell fer not waitin. after all, if god iz az forgivin az hez supposed 2 b, hed forgive all our sinz n there wood b noone ta send 2 hell. i dunt agree wit how yer supposed ta wait till yer married n it cant b wit the same sex, but i do understand y yer supposed ta wait. u see, god gave us sexual organz to recreate life, therefore, he only wantz us ta use these organz to create life. Also, u see, u gotta think bout how far back theze rulez r datin, back when sex dint happen az recreation. can u see my point? i aint badmouthin catholicz like u other idiotz did, all im sayin iz that itz a religion that rlly duznt fit this time period. so ov course the die hard catholic followerz r expectin thingz ov ppl that juss aint gunna happen. i think god realizes that this iz a new day an age, therefore our valuez n moralz r different. ITZ CALLED EVOLUTION, do u rlly think that u cood make a religion that wood go along wit the average oppinion ov the ppl on earth, and expect that in 1,000 yrz moralz on earth willnot b totally different? an if u knew anythin bout catholicz, ud kno that they do not support racism, er any kind ov "master race" or "pure race" az the nazi'z did. tell me exactly y they wood wanna help the naziz kill the jewz when their religion comez frum jewish beleifz? many "respected" charcterz ov the catholic bible were jewish. get yer factz straight b4 u start talkin shit bout other pplz religionz, even if u knew wut the fuck yer talkin bout u shood at least respect all religionz, even if u dunt agree wit em. whoever called catholicz bastardz n said they beleive in ethnic cleansing is a tru fuckin idiot. here u r, belittling a race becuz u think they belittle other racez. i juss cant stand ppl who talk shit bout otherz beleifz, especially when they dunt even got their factz straight. hopefully sumbody agreez wit me.
