religion, addiction, and others

YOU DONT RUN EXPERIMENTS AT THE EXPENSE OF INNOCENT CHILDREN FOR THE SAKE OF RAPISTS AND YOUR REVENGE! IF YOU DO THEN YOU ARE DISGUSTING!

I don’t ask anyone to respect the truth I could care less what you believe.

While I can understand this reasoning (and personally agree with you) I think it’s dangerous to claim that something is the objective truth.

Lots of worldviews/religions/beliefs are claiming to be the one true faith/religion/worldview, and it sadly didn’t bring much good. Wars, killings, all because people claim to be the one true whatever.
If more people would agree to disagree on certain aspects of life, there would be less misery in this world. 🙂

If we all realised that God is everything and everything is God, and we are God looking back at itself and learning and experiencing and we are, truly, One being... then TRUE peace, and spiritual evolvement will take place.

Yes I can judge weed/hash/alcohol/tobacco without trying them by looking at their affects on others & by listening to the experiences of people who tried them.
Tobacco and cannabis are diff things, therefore, diff rulings.
Somking tobacco has no affect on your brain but smoking cannabis does and whatever (negatively) affects your brain is prohibited (in Islam)
There’s free will to do all but with free will comes consequences.
You might feel something is wrong because it doesn’t make sense to you but that doesn’t actually make it wrong. Wrong isn’t established by a person’s opinion but rather, by proof.
We don’t know truth by men but men by truth. That is how Islam works.
To add an important point, if Islam says XYZ is wrong, you as a person (who doesn’t follow Islam) don’t have to justify that XYZ is right.
Islam says it’s wrong and you say it isn’t. To you your way & to Islam its own.

Hello my brother. You are wrong about nicotine (I studied pharmacology and still do sometimes, but not as much anymore after involving myself into this beautiful hobby). Nicotine is highly psychoactive, when you take a puff from a vape or a cigarette only micrograms of nicotine are going inside of your blood stream through your lungs alveoli, then into the blood stream then into the brain in seconds, where you experience a rapid rise in dopamine signaling in the brain, similar to that of cocaine, through the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Just my two cents 🙂.

exactly! what i dont get is why people take such offense? actually i now, it is because if they do not they feel they will lose points from sky master. it is the only reason someone would feel insulted. beliefs are personal and just like beliefs of agarwood and favorite colors people shouldnt get angry if for example i say, i hate the color yellow it is disgusting. i cant see any logic in someone being angry at me for saying that about their favorite color.

No, because I didn't read it all. You are starting to become a little bit Insulting, personal attack will not be tolerated.

sorry i thought you read what i said and were acting like you couldnt understand me only to tell me that i should be forced to respect belief systems that personally destroyed my country and my heritage and people throughout the last 1500 years. sorry but i have no respect for the murderers of my nation and i never will. BUT, I HAVE RESPECT FOR PEOPLE, ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF BELIEF SYSTEMS. people have individuality and emotions of their character and belief systems of dogma shouldnt be confused when we talk about human respect.

i been banned a couple times for a week. i might end up getting banned one day fully....theres nothing i can do, freedom and free minds were always demonized and hated by many.

but why would i attack someone i like? i didnt attack you and i have great respect for YOU im sure you know this. besides all this stuff that has people throughout the world fighting, i feel sad that simple ideas like moral are so hard to see. i am not surprised tho in general..people will do anything to make it to "heaven"

Hello dear brother 🤝

I’m sure what you said about nicotine through your studies is probably true since you’ve researched at a micro level.
My statement however, was on a general and macro level. The behaviour and attitude of a person who has just smoked a cigarette and the one who has just smoked a good quality joint. That is the diff in effect I was talking about.

Considering one has smoked a cig & other, a joint.
Whom out of the two would you like to sign a business deal with in that moment, who would you prefer getting a lift from at night, who would you like to help you with a math problem. I’m sure you get my point brother.

This is why tobacco and hash are not the same in the eyes of God & God is the most knowledgeable, the most wise.

it was not about going anywhere to begin with. not about changing anyones beliefs but rather simple conversation to try to understand eachother and why we believe the things we believe. to question one another and see angles we couldnt see before.

question to my brothers and sisters of all religions..............

when i am thirsty, and i ask myself for water and or tell myselt, "i am thirsty, can i have some water? i will go drink some water soon...i know, i am the one thirsty remember?" would i be insane if i talk to myself like this?

would this be considered a mental health danger? does anyone see the madness in me being hungry and telling myself how hungry i am and i beg myself for food and everything i am about to do to make food and eat i tell myself how to do it? IS THAT SANITY??? OR???

I came across this very interesting video. A journalist went on a 4 week 80% ‘ultra processed food’ diet, and afterwards, there were connections in his brain similar to those in brain of addicts.

‘Ultra processed’ may also include those healthy granola bars, if they have lots of ‘nice’ additives.

I am really addicted to soft drinks, I have been trying to switch to water and buying nice water, but I still buy my fizzy drinks, at least I am trying and drinking water a little more, maybe one day I will be able to fully ween off of it, since (pure) sugar is just as addictive as cocaine, if not more.

i am a sugar junky, i eat a lot of baked goods. you know its my only real negative addiction. in general i eat family raised animals and produce. when i cut the sugar out of my life, after a week to about 2 weeks i start feeling extremely unhealthy and sick. soon as i start eating it again i go back to normal instantly. a lot of people think sugar is not an extreme drug just cause not everyone can get addicted to it. but those who do it is as bad as a lot of really bad things.

Could you repeat the question for a simple idiot that I am as I am struggling with your post? @language scent

when you want anything like foor, to heat wood, to use a perfume, etc etc, do you ask yourself if you can have it? i feel that no sane and normal person would tell their own self "hey self i am hungry, can i eat something?" or " hey self please train hard for the fight as the opponent is brutal" i mean it doesnt seem logical to do so right? so i asked what people would think of someone who does that, who talks to himself about everything they need and are about to do as if there are two personalities there the begger and the giver within the mind.

i mean we all know what we need, what we want so we never ask ourself for these things, right?? LOL is it safe to say that someone who has to go to the bathroom will say to himself " hey self i really have to go take a crap please go to the bathroom" this person is legaly insane and needs help yes? i asked in general no one said a word lol also please say why you think this person would be batshit crazy (i agree)

Christianity.
A reminder of how Christianity became so popular today.

“During the reign of Charlemagne, women were impaled on sharpened stakes placed in the bay.

Slowly, over days, the pole traveled the length of the body through the organs, causing immense pain, simply because a woman was found gathering herbs in the forest. She had been labeled a witch.

Their cries were heard for days as an example to those who did not accept the Christian religion. Christianity became so popular because of the sheer terror of what happened if it was not accepted.”

Actually cannabis was made illegal because pharmaceutical companies couldn’t make money out of it. It is created by God so to make something he created illegal to me seems strange, anything can be used for good and for bad even just a Few words someone hears can be mind altering.

lol yup. since it grows in the ground they cant patent THC. the closest and most epic failure of trying to synthesize cannabis is "K2" or "toonchi" as we Floridians call it is probably worse than heroine. its so cheap anyone can get ot for one dollar, and it can be really really strong. highly addictive, and easy to prepare. its the perfect tool from a market standpoint.... kinda messed up

this k2 if it is mixed with actual cannibis can be very dangerous, like sure psychosis
