Freedom of Religion

[Psalm23]

[I don't think any of those are fruit..  :hmm:

You know as well as I do. Every Tree, Flower and Plant has a purpose in life. Just because it's poisonous to mankind doesn't mean it doesn't serve a purpose! This was taught in 5th grade Science class!!

Peyote isn't poisonous.

did GOD almighty say PEYOTE is safe to mankind, and it will cure illness?

yes or no?

you are throwing things at me that don't quite make much sense at all.

Did your imaginary friend mention cannabis sativa? Yes or no? Don't hold one plant to a different standard from another without scripture to back that second standard up.

Note that THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) doesn't cure anything, it just treats symptoms.

Psalm: you're talking about hemp. Hemp and marijuana are not the same thing. They're different varieties of Cannabis sativa. You can smoke marijuana for medicinal purposes. You can make clothes out of hemp. Not vice versa.

Keep reaching, man. Keep reaching.

(Also, see Jill's remark about THC.)

Yes, and you can also eat marijuana for medicinal purposes as well. GOD has it all figured out, man.. QUIT trying to do the LORDS work..

GOD created this seed before you were born.. and this seed will continue to grow well after you're dead..


"The Lord said unto me, 'I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs." - Isaiah 18:4-5 (This verse is saying.. smoke a marijuana cigarette for relaxation)

". . .And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more." -- Ezekiel 34:29


KEEP IN MIND!!! GOD is not saying.. GO out and buy a pound of dope and party like it's 1999!!!!

he is saying it's ok to smoke for relaxation!!

Eating marijuana has the same effect as smoking it: panacea, not cure. Ingestion is ingestion, regardless of method.

Fail.

Did you make a point, or just using that post a chance to spit more scripture? I understand if that's all you want to do... it's worked really, really well so far.

no wonder atheism is on the rise.. no one can understand the bible and how it was written.

So much for the divine word of a perfect god right?

just out of sheer curiosity.. can you name one plant that bears 12 different fruits? :brick:

[/quote]

Actually it is possible with simple grafting techniques.  Heck, I've got a fruit coctail tree in my front yard that bears three kinds of fruit (peaches, cherries, apricot.)

The key word here i thought was twelve? you gave me three? I'm not a major in math, but you are nine off from the plant JOHN was talking about...

Keep trying.. and in the end,, you will see he was talking about the POT plant.

well, gee, lets exmaine this for a second. If I tell my 3 year old son that 3+3=6 and he can't figure it out on his own.. does that mean 3 plus 3 is not 6? .

No! it means you do not understand what you're reading..

I forget.. what exactly is the point you're trying to make? That one prediction in the Bible will prove another prediction? I think I lost you there.

You mean to tell me throughout this entire discussion.. you didn't pick up on what i was saying?? i'm saying.. GOD allows me to smoke marijuana if i choose to. and the Federal Govnerment will not stop me from doing so. America is the land of Religious freedom!! And as far as I know.. As a U.S citizen, I'm allowed to follow the verses of the bible "freely" in this country.. so according to scripture, GOD says "go put clear heat upon the herbs in your state of relaxation." did he not?

America is only free if you keep quiet about religion, and pay your taxes.
if you are caught with marjiuana, you goto state or federal prison.
if you are caught not paying taxes.. you are thrown into a Federal prison.

Where does Freedom begin?

Freedom has it's limits because the U.S Govnerment is a Mafia with a Red, White & Blue Flag on the wall.

Don't be surpised if everything being said in these forums is not being recorded by the F.B.I or Federal Govnerment.

You'd be surpised how crooked mankind is.

This entire thread makes my head hurt even more than the allergies do!

I SWEAR Psalm23 is a troll with this marijuana crap.  It makes my head spin!  How had did you have to work to twist the scriptures to justify smoking weed, dude?  Desperate much?

[curiosityandthecat]

I apologize. Your intellect and argumentation is so dizzyingly effective that I often get lost in the warm glow of God's embrace.  :pop:

[BuckeyeInNC]

The point that Psalm23 keeps missing is that the drug laws that he complains about are the result of Religious influence upon our government.

Psalm you need to complain about religious entanglement in our government, not the reverse.

Its amusing that he misses this fact completely.
