    Default Religion: why you believe what you believe, and how can you prove it.

    title says it all, im just curious how people can look into ancient text and find their purpose in life? especially since most of these books go by life thousands of years ago. most of you also cherry pick the books you live by also, but why only live by some words and not the others? if these people made this book and you completely take their word without any of their proof, doesnt it defeat the purpose when you reject on fallacy but accept another? how do you go about judging what is morally right in the books you live by, when you base your morals on said book?

    also, has anyone ever taken into account, when someone believe they spoke to "god" or some other "higher being", do you ever wonder if this person may have been schizophrenic? possibly even on drugs, or maybe just dreaming? how do you live by the words of something that has no proof, and ignore something that shows evidence of proof like science?


    oh and one last thing, for the last question dont answer by saying "faith", elaborate a little bit.

    I believe the rainbow in a bag of skittles is most likely our savior for this week. Rumor has it, it will be in Cocoa Butter but the end of the month, expect the rapture then. Good Luck.

    oh and 1 question for ya...what brings ya to a cannabis forum to ask religious questions after all? I mean the Stanley Cup playoff's will resume Monday night man, just chill till then, no need to go off the deep end with religious junk filling your head.

    You'll find out sooner or later anyway right? The mind is chaotic enough, full of flames and brimstone in its natural state. For example yourself, you've come to a cannabis forum to probe religious subject matter....crazy

    Whoever has a mind has the ability to delude themselves with what they wish,yet even more scarey, delude others that are with weaker mind,which are far to many in number.People that believe they talk to higher powered beings never left pretend time as kids,yes I would be inclined to think they are schitzo for sure.I use to believe in this stuff as a kid through early teen,but never heard any special voices and never made any invisible friends with omnipotency.I guess some people get so desperate for hope that they will happily delude themselves into faith because it is so easy to rest all of your concerns about truth on an intangible being.It is like hitting the easy button to claim faith as youre reasoning behind the belief,so that the mind may circumvent the effort to ask the important Who,what,where,when and WHY.

    I'm an Atheist (no God) Although I have some Goddesses in my garden. I have no problems tolerating other peoples religions and practices as long as their religion or religious authorities don't preach for intolerance. The real problem : Extremist movement are abusing of religions to fill-up empty heads and turn them into terrorist.

    hahaha just a question man, just wanted to see if anyone could give me a real answer to those questions, maybe enlighten someone whos been traumatized into thinking they're gonna burn in a fire pit in hell if they dont accept someone they never knew, saw, or better yet have proof of. and i know this is a cannabis forum, thats why i come here but they do have a philosophy section so is it so bad that i asked questions? its always good to get opinions from your type of audience too, you can all relate to similar shit, and many of us think the same way. why not ask for an opinion here an there?

    There is nothing wrong with seeking the opinions of your peers. What other choice does the OP have, go to a church and ask? Should he call the prayer line? Do cannabis users become unqualified to speak about their own beliefs? These things would be crazy.

    right? who hears voices, i wouldnt listen to these people, i dont care if they claimed it was a guy named god. anyway you put it, the guys a fuckin schitzo. sad how we have all the technology to prove this shit wrong and people still go about wasting their limited lives concerned about where they will go after it. the worst part is when they spend their whole lives becoming consumed in it, then once theyve found out its a lie they cant do anything else with their lives. faith is all bullshit, thats like saying "i dont have proof so ill blindly believe this", like you said its pretty much an easy button.

    fuck all that shit, pastafarianism makes more sense.
