Then move along. If you’re bored of religion and you come to a thread regarding Christianity, you’ve either here out of curiosity or to cause trouble.

Me too - especially the anti-religion religions.
Oddly, the irrational hatred of a way of life that encourages and teaches love and living in harmony with others was (and is) one of the things that piqued my curiosity about Christianity.
It dawned on me that I hated an entire belief system without any real knowledge or facts, and I was disparaging an entire people based on very little experience with that culture.

Not a lion - but I ran from a water buffalo while high in the Punjab - The Kush region of India. I had smoked a bit with some locals and got too close to one when we left. (off topic - took Hydroxychloroquin to prevent malaria there too - it's OTC)
If anyone has a problem with religion - don't go to India. Religion is everywhere you look in that part of the world.
Actually, avoid Central America and a lot of the Caribbean too; a lot of religion there - Barbados shuts down on Sundays....

Found this article from a preacher that consumes cannabis. It is interesting that almost every living creature has CB1 and CB2 receptors in its bodies.
He also says that cancer was almost non-existent until 1937. Is this due to pollution and the food we eat?

Yes, cancer is entirely a reaction to exposure to chemicals or radiation (Genetic factors increase risk). Both of which we are soaked with on a daily basis.Cannabis Seeds for Sale since 2003 | Seedsman USA

Most of what people put in their mouth and call food, I personally would not. Pretty much if it comes in a box, bag or can = not food.
Also, the elephant in the room is drinking water. Go get a lab report, they're usually free from the municipality. It's chemical soup you absord (bathe in), inhale (showering) and ingest. Dirty dirty. Not just cancer, but endocrine disruptors (hmmmm....).

If you want a real mind fuck, read Wisdom Of Solomon. It is one of the 14 books that were removed from the Bible. Before you dive in deep believing what the British crown used to keep its people in control (kjv) read those removed books and remember that people for 1500 years considered them part of the Bible as a whole. Religion is just stories from people like us. Information gets misconstrued and misunderstood and not one single word of what "Jesus said" was written by him. At the least was 2nd and 3rd hand writings. I'm not just some asshole rambling, I grew up in a hard-core Christian household. I started searching for answers when EVERYONE (pastors, decons, life long religious people) kept giving me the same cop out, "you have to have faith". Or "if God wanted us to know he would've wrote it in the bible". Sorry no I really sound like an asshole rambling lol

Not sounding like an asshole at all - Genuine exchange of questions and information welcome - pick it up or put it down, up to the individual.
I agree - those are total cop outs. I'll tell you right now that I don't have those answers either. --- That's why it's called Seeking.
Actually, I'll one up that - Wouldn't it be much simpler for Him to just appear and we ALL see? Maybe He could make it a bit easier here?
Apparently not the way it works though - we get to puzzle it out as we take a few spins around the sun before our bodies become fertilizer.
But IMHO, that's the fun of it, isn't it? The seeking.
Anyway, your well thought out, heart felt choice of faith, or lack thereof is your call - nobody else's.
Neither is mine.
The KJV (and the crown) is not the version where the Apocrypha were removed - that was Luther vs. Rome. The original KJV included the Apocrypha, but then removed them later, following Luther's example.
IIRC, The Apocrypha are not found in the Septuagint either, since they were penned much later. They are interesting reading though.
2nd & 3rd hand writings - They were called Scribes - a specific trade. Paul used at least one extensively; this is pointed out by Paul himself when he writes, "See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!" (Gal. 6:11 - NIV). Paul was a tent maker, not an author by trade.
Most likely neither David nor Solomon actually wrote any of the Psalms or the Proverbs either - they were kings; they had professional Scribes taking dictation and chronicling events constantly.
Lawyers and doctors still use Scribes extensively today - and few people would say that they are inaccurate.
Do you think that CEOs write all their own correspondence? Of course not. They have other people write it for them - sometimes they might not ever see it. But it's still from the CEO.
Interesting point here - this thread specifically asks Christians about their thoughts on Christians smoking weed; yet (as it always does), the conversation devolves into attacks on the Christian Faith - even though that was never the intent of the thread.
I've always wondered about that - it was one of the reasons I finally looked into Christianity myself - albeit with different results than you.
-- Looks like I'm the one rambling.
On topic --- Family is down, just me & the dogs by the fire place typing away on RIU.
Time to get away from the screen and have a bowl by the fire before bed.

Media conditioning/death by a thousand cuts.
99% of movies portray Christianity in a negative light. Decades of Hollywood Christian bashing.
It’s on purpose.

I'm a Bible thumpin Jesus freak! No church because everyone I have ever been involved in was full of... fakers. My wife and I read our Bibles and pray together. And most importantly I believe Jesus died on that cross for us. Was resurrected. And one day will return. (That's really all it takes to be a Christian!)
After saying all that I would also say that I am a normal human being besides being a Christian. I still smoke pot and say the occasional cuss word. I watch rated R movies and I love Rock and Roll and Hip hop. Just a regular dude who happens to be a believer.

Also, we're considered least likely to have any blow-back effect over negative press.
Criticizing - or persecuting of certain Faiths will get you labeled, maybe cancelled or even shut down.
Any perceived sleight of some other Faiths will get you killed - especially if you have a corporate headquarters.
So safety points towards running stories about the "Turn the Other Cheek" crowd. They'll turn the other cheek.
Or, stories run on terrorists and militias need to have the element of radicalism or dangerous extremism.
The media will never report from the center of any story - that's boring, and boring costs ratings.
So "Journalists" find the most extreme & vocal person in a crowd of thousands - that's what they're hired to do.
Hollywood as an industry is mostly agnostic and will sway whichever direction attracts advertising dollars.
Producers, agencies & actors may bring their agendas, but their "causes" don't even last as long as their 15 minutes of fame.

I have no idea why Christians would be against smoking cannabis, other than as a general result of American Puritanism. Rastafari have nominal Christian beliefs, though I wouldn't call them Christians. Islam doesn't seem to have a problem with it if Afghanistan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Turkey are any indication. And of course, the legendary Buddhist Temple Balls of the Himalayas are further proof that none of the other major world religions feel anything but reverence for the world's oldest cultivated crop. Noah obviously had a mother plant and a male clone on the Ark otherwise we would have lost this amazing plant to the Waterworld.

Agreed!
I've always thought it was a neo-puritanism in the early 20th century. We had cannabis as well as opiates, stimulants, alcohol and other substances in most medicine chests until prohibition. Other cultures have made it legal or illegal throughout time, but it perseveres - that says something.
Always an amazing experience smoking in other cultures - Hindi, Central American, various locales in the US.
We all have small variations on the actual act of smoking, but the spirit of friendship runs throughout.
Coolest part of the toking culture IMO.
Hadn't thought of the Noah aspect - I'd assume it was a much different plant then, but still medicinal / recreatiional.
