[QUOTE=Ferre]Me. For one. It's a cultural genocide that keeps going on, in different shapes, untill this very day/second in all parts of the world where the "Abrahamic religions" dominate. (This means the so called western-and-muslim world) Examples? "The war on drugs" is the best and most viewable. It is more than anything a war on "Entheogens", drugs with a historical religious meaning for the cultures that try to survive the Abrahamic religions.
Example of such a culture now: "The Cannabis Culture", my friends. We are surviving for so long now that we have almost forgotten about the spiritual values of cannabis, one of the main reasons why it is so oppressed during the centuries. Most of us do not see the link between "being stoned" spiritual experience that it really is... what's in a name, right? Most modern shamans are very quite about it, afraid of being mocked and stigmatisized as "druggies".
My research for the past 25 years show me it's the abrahamic religions influence which is to blame for the greatests part.[/QUOTE]

Mr. Ferre is right, and the "Entheogens" drug aspect of this is important, but I know people that never took a toke in their life that understand the often-destructive nature of the Abrahmic faiths/cultures very well. On the other hand, the pot culture tends to be too focused on the "party" side of it, and not enough awareness is evident of it's "spiritual" values. In my case, the "spiritual" aspects made me more of an atheist/materialist, lol.

Ferre says, "My research for the past 25 years show me it's the abrahamic religions influence which is to blame for the greatest part." An important word here is "greatest part", because there is a lot of ignorance and destruction present in some non-Abrahmic, non-monotheistic cultures, also. The monotheists do have the worst records, historically - and some, such as the lunatic fringe Moslems (and some others), would like very much to take over and/or destroy the whole world. I don't mean to let the christian fundies off the hook, but nobody in their right mind would attribute as much potential for destruction to them (the christian fundamentalists) as the islamic nuts of today. The problem in coming years will be to avoid worldwide destruction due to so many peopleā??s inability to think rationally, logically, and intuitively.

I am certainly grateful for the formation of the organization that Mr. Ferre is involved in, and plan to read more about it.
