To me, putting your faith in an omnipotent being, caring more for the after-life than for life, are all mis-guided, and cannabis has only pushed me harder in that direction. Christianity is, simply put, to deny the potential of mankind to be God themselves. We live in our world now and today, so let's make it a better place now. The after-life is completely irrelevant for obvious reasons. Why make sacrifices today to ensure that you will be ok aftr you die? It really doesn't make sense to me. Do you really need a religion to tell you that killing someone is bad? that lying is bad? that disrespecting your parents is bad? No you don't because we already know that.

What you call God, I call consciousness. When you die, you wanna make things right with God, I wanna make things right with my conscience.
Howdy FLESH,

Well I'm glad that ya agree with the gittin stoned part..lol..I figured that you would..but sometimes I wonder..when folks who toke,turn around and say that they don't believe in God or the spirit world or their own souls..I just don't understand how someone can be so shallow as to not feel the expansion of conscicousness that occurs when they toke.

Now don't git me wrong..I ain't saying we should neglect the here and now or our physical lives,on the contrary,our physical lives in the here and now,are very vital. I believe that we are on the physical plane,to learn spiritual lessons from Life's ups and downs..which is why God does not interfere much with what goes on here,if He did,then we wouldn't learn how to make the world a better place for everyone.

In regards to the question of morality..I would ask you--which came first ? Judeo-Christian values,from which many of our laws originate..or the amoral relativism of the Left ?

If a child is raised without any moral guidance or with amoral relativism,there would be nothing to prevent them from lying,cheating,stealing or murder..because they would see doing such,as tools to git what they want for themselves..and to heck with everyone else. The Left,would have us believe,that there is no higher goal,than satisfying one's every desire and want..there's no compelling reason to be of good character,because such,defeats the hedonistic goals of liberalism..virtues such as honesty,honor and selflessness,have no place in a liberal world..where if it feels good..do it.

Have a good one ....
