RE: Why Atheists are more likely to use cannabis

This is presented with relatively benign intent, but I feel the points are valid

Well there are other things to consider. Christians by taking the role of demonizing cannabis, only alienate good people from being interested in Christianity.

Its like a mad witch hunt. Christians passing judgment on other Christians, what has the world come to. No matter what religion you are, its common sense not to judge people about there beliefs and/or there actions for that matter, God is the only one that can judge you.

I am not trying to convert anyone, i just wanted to state that.

You are more than welcome to your viewpoint and encouraged to share it. That's the whole point of this kind of video, when I do them at least, is more just to get people talking about thing civilly than to try to change anyone's mind.

We (the human race) don't have to agree with one another to get along and thus accomplish great things. It is the petty mind that picks apart the minutia of someone else's life with intent to make them change or feel shame. No harm in healthy debate.

I am christian and i know that most other Christians would not smoke cannabis because they have been thought that it goes against god or is satanic in a way. i would say its all nonsense cannabis is just a plant and god is the one that gave us plants i am sure he trust us to make up our own minds about what we want to try or use as medicine. thanks for the video. peace,

@MWCstream I was raised as a Christian baptized, confirmed, the whole nine yards. Before I rejected the idea of a God, I started the occasional use of cannabis.

The two were entirely unrelated for me. One was an experimental act of rebellion, the other

I respect everyone's right to see the universe as they see fit, so long as it doesn't impede someone else ability to make up their own mind or our ability to peacefully coexist.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Have a good one.

@Diamonddavej I guess I'm schizophrenic then... *chuckle*

Cannabis is beautiful, and makes friends from enemies.

Those who criticize it without having tried it a few times have no idea what they are talking about.

Legalize/decriminalize it. End prohibition.

I came through the same experience as far at the sacraments. Experienced drugs like cannabis as well for a time through college. Now in later life I've chosen to leave it alone. Much clearer focus for me now. It was a choice and I'm glad for it. Period. Other drugs, however, are more harmful depending on one's mental state overall and some should steer clear. Some can drink and handle it, others are a menace to themselves and others by doing so. Depends on who you are when sober. Know thyself.

When I was being confirmed and pretty much all thru highschool..atleast half the people in my church group smoked weed. We had a quite good time doing it too. In the end tho who cares it really doesn't make a bit of difference in the overall scheme of things.

To the poster of the video: Well said.

you know how everyone wonders what the meaning of life is at 15 I know there is no meaning to life so fuck of and stop wondering and the whole concept of "God" is frankly I believe stupid.
