  • I'm not talking about drugs. Psychedelics are holy sacraments in some cultures. I appreciate your right to believe what you want, but all I'm saying is that it's silly to just choose a prepackaged religion when you can form your own opinions about god. There can only be one actual true reality about it, and thinking that there's one religion that got it right and all the others are wrong is just silly.

    • Oh dude I'm sorry! Seriously, I didn't mean to make you think that. That's kinda what drove me away from Christianity, the thinking only one way can be right thing. I just like to think that all existing things came about in a way I imagined, and that the rulers or guides that sit on the clouds above are things that I made and agree with. I will never deny another's perspective though, that's actually what I really like about a loose belief. And I don't use psychedelics because of my Grandma, who would actual lynch me if I dared take anything more mind altering than coffee.

      • I was getting into this on another topic on here, I absolutely believe that the universe has consciousness and people have picked up on it and tried to find ways to describe it forever. You can pick up on its existence before or without giving yourself up to faith in an ideology.

        Religions are TV dinners. You have the one with chicken and beans, the one with steak and potatoes, fish and macaroni, etc. If you want chicken and macaroni most people won't make both and pick the parts that they like, they pick whatever sounds like the best package and take it for everything that it comes with. Religious people are like that. You're supposed to open your mind just enough to believe their explanations about things and then close it to any troublesome questions that might come up along the way.

        I normally encourage drug use on here, psychedelics are an incredible way of contacting the universal consciousness through the aether or whatever you want to call it, though if its offensive to you morally I wouldn't recommend it.

        • It dosen't bother me exactly, I just don't want my friends or family to think poorly of me, cuz most of them completely discourage any form of drug even if its not really a drug. But yeah what I did was sit on a rock beach a little way outa my town, next to really pretty beach grass and just wrote down whatever sounded cool as I thought about it. And I like to tell stories to myself so that's how I've come about what I believe.
