It’s funny how just exposing the religious to alternative afterlife’s is enough to completely lose a lifetime of teaching and servitude, and strips away any inclination for a pleasant afterlife. No convincing or reapplying every seven days - nope, just being near a thing removes all of Jesus’ teachings.
I’ve made this argument to religious friends and family members resistant to trying psychedelics.
“If a little piece of paper or a little mushroom risks getting rid of God, what does that say about God?”
I think it says more about their actual beliefs in God. As a Christ follower, I believe everyone has their own path to take. If drugs in moderation is one of them, go for it. Hell, it’s theorized Moses was tripping on shrooms when talking to God.
Those who fear being exposed to “other” things will take them away from God (beyond addiction, that’s a whole other thing), then they never believed in the first. They just use it as a shield to justify their horrible actions.
Aren’t the “good” Christians required to “believe in the darkness of hell” so they are afraid of it and don’t do things which make them end up there?
while there are people like this, I’m pretty sure this is just trolling. Karen Smith? come on
Spot on, but we still play along with the charade because it’s cathartic. I was raised by people like this and I feel an inch closer to humanity when I get to talk shit on the strawman.
