no they were found not guilty..................... this just proves how good the media is at manipulating thought. It was all over the news that they got busted and had to bring school buses to take them away, yet it wasn't on the news very much that the govt. falsely raided them and all the children were able to return. Some one in the community around them made up lies about them. TX sure has a thing for raiding religious groups.

noone heard of temple 420?
jewish, christian....and weed!!!
i think the members are all MMJ users, but i think they allow anyone to join...watch the movie super high me...Doug Benson literally goes to their church.
The movie is boring as hell, but it does show a "weed" religion, based on christianity and judaism (spelling?)...based on the fact that god made everything, including weed.
oh yeh, and when i watched it...i kinda felt like i was watching someone pretend to smoke weed. anyone else seen it and think he bum puffed the smoke / held it in his cheeks/mouth??

I dont know if anyone said this already but, In Cali there are these people and if you have a medical card you can join them. It's kinda like a religion I suppose, like they read from the bible and pray and shit.

maybe if thousands of people with masks just all smoked a shit ton of weed...thousands of people mind you. they might get away with it. I mean you cant arrest everyone. Yeah there would be some people who got arrested but every war has casulaties right? i mean the irs is a totally illegal company and yet most people still pay their damn taxes.just sayin...

Wow, not gonna point out names but some people are ignorant.
How can you say don't talk about religion on RIU when RIU has this section for that purpose?
Secondly I agree with the people who say its weird for religious people to beo n here anyway. Most religions I know off say you can't do drugs etc. (not that I think cannabis is a drug, but legally speaking it is and since religions have to follow laws I just assume)
The main problem with religion is that people think about it to much. I mean all religions say do good and good will be done unto you, do bad and bad shit will happen...thats the 'golden rule' or w/e right?
So isn't religion more so a common sense thing. If your an ass to people, then people are gonna be an ass to you? if your a nice enough guy nobody will have a problem with you. If your an ass to a nice guy, he'll be an ass to you, but that doesn't make him an ass.
If people stopped caring about religion and started caring about themselves and who they are (including how other people view them etc. etc.) then I'm pretty sure the world would be a much more simple place.
Lastly its really a shame that religion has such power because its so obvious the corruption it brings to government. I think only true atheists should be aloud to rule a country.
GREAT THREAD THOU!

eh, the only religion i remember being against drugs is buddhism. buddha thought drugs were bad for thinking (didnt try many i suppose)
which was a bad deal to him, because basically buddishm is about sitting down and thinking your way to nirvana and leave this world. (never be born again,because apparantly it sucks living if you dont do drugs at least sometimes)
the bible just warns you not to get shitfaced with alcohol, but isnt against its drinking (just advises moderation) or any other drug.
nothing comes to mind with any of the other religions.
sure religious officials speak out against them, but thats just to seem moral as religion usually changes with the morals of the day. cant get the big tithes and donations if you arent pleasing the majority.

HINDUISM does not discriminate against weed, some sects like the Hare Krishnas, are against any forms of intoxication, however there are sects like the shivites, or sadhus who smoke cannabis regularly as sacrament to lord shiva.
bahng or cannabis is his holy plant brought here from his realm to help mankind find enlightenment. most shiva devotees smoke considerable amounts of cannabis, in india cannabis may not be legal, but its tolorated. it grows in the streets, in vacant lots.. there are government authorized bahng shops where you get a yogurt cannabis smoothie, or weed cookies.. theres not too much in the quality smokable department, but lots of eatables. the sadhus are the only real heavy smokers, tho everyone consumes cannabis on shivayatri and on holi, and many other hindu holidays. its common practice for the entire community to get cooked together.. the sadhus smoke weed and tobacco out of clay chillums.. infact its where the hippies got the idea for chillums from. hippies stole alot of their ideas and philosophies by warping vedic culture into something western that fits their needs, i personally have a strong dislike for hippies, and find them useless.
Hare bol!!

Hemp has a long standing affair with China and at one point it was so regarded that China named their country 'the land of mulberry and hemp'. The marijuana plant was such a symbol of power over evil and in the pharmacopoeia of emperor Shen Nung it was referred to as the 'liberator of sin'.

Not to be the voice of reason on here,. but...
There are 2 branches of mormon church. One if the one we all know of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They don't practice polygamy. But the fundamentalist mormon church certainly does practice it today. Not hundreds of years ago. & had nothing to do with husbands getting killed by indians. Its part of their faith & what they expect in the afterlife.
Nice discussion though
Enjoy..

Kinda strange thread. The point about religion is not the "lord" said this and that. I mean, you write that stuff down as praise, 2000 years ago and then after you are dead they make a religion out of what you said. You say those things within your current cultural reference that you had no choice but to be immersed in.
No one seems to realize we are mindless slaves to this social reference. It was pitilessly imprinted before we could talk and before we had any sense of self. Therefore for 99.9999whatever% of folks, this reference, is Self. No attention is ever turned away from the nattermind that just wants stuff and never stops talking inside. There is more Self beyond that. But how to find it? Some guy says something about how to do that and we worship the story about it. Kill people about it.
So, to me all religions have this problem. Mormons? Just go back to the story of Joseph Smith. Very influenced by divination. Specifically, crystal reading in the bottom of a felt hat. It's was the current Victorian parlor trick. Seance stuff. Then he claimed he found tablet, then he lost the gold tablets. Then he wrote it down. Supposedly dictating from beyond a curtain, from the crystal in the hat. By then, he is fighting Christians in Missouri and got his brother killed. They were able to get Brigham Young crowned the Federal Manager of Utah Territory. The rest is history.
The book of Mormon, Angel card = Maroni. The angel card for Islam is David. Christianity plays the Michael card.
Hindu being very ancient have dozens of angel cards. Sikh became a religion in the 1500s because of the killing (torture/torment) of their Gurus. Now it's just a religion. Angel card = The !0 Gurus.
Really I could go on and on, but every religion is like this, started that way, and there are several new ones in progress, right now.
But, the point of the thread is can there be religious freedom to smoke the ganga like there is for peyote in the Native American "church?" Yes, you sign up for the boi Shiva religion that used cannabis as a sacrament and convenience the govt to sanction it. But, you will be up against the Hindu League that doesn't want the association. They have influence, we don't.
Besides the medical aspects are real and important. Religions would fight to the death over nothing. Not a cannabis thing.
