Not Endorsing Marijuana Use

Although this church was a Marijuana inspired idea this church neither encourages the use of Marijuana nor discourages it. The use of Marijuana is not part of any Church of Reality functions or rituals.

The Church of Reality in general discourages drug use. But specifically we encourages people to be smart about drug use. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with each drug and different drugs affect different people in different ways. There are people who can drink constantly and still be what appears to be totally normal. I am not one of them. I can drink a glass of wine and I'm fine. If I drink more than 2 I'm regretting it. Just because smoking pot works for me doesn't mean that it's going to work for you and I smoke very little pot and only occasionally. Any substance done to excess is a bad idea.

Like anything, you have to use good judgment when it comes to using drugs. If something isn't working for you and the down side is interfering with your life or health, don't do it. And never do any drugs just because your friends are doing it and you want to fit in. Always research the substances that you are considering so that you understand what you are doing. And especially stay away from anything that is addictive. You don't even want to be dependent on something as harmless as coffee.

Newsflash

The God who Wasn't There is a really great film that I highly recommend. I saw an early screening of it at Stanford and I loved it. It goes into the early history of Christianity to determine if the character Jesus ever actually existed. I was surprised to find that much of the Jesus story was already in fiction for hundreds of years before Jesus was supposedly born. This is a documentary of how the Jesus myth was created and how little today's Christians know about the history of their own religion. Here's a really great Trailer for the movie. (18mb Quicktime format)

Most Atheists like myself have generally believed that the story of Jesus was at least based on some real events, some popular preacher that may have really existed and was later turned into a supernatural figure by his followers. But it is becoming clear to me that Jesus is total fiction and the stories are adapted from the fiction of the time. I recommend this film to everyone. It gives you a LOT to think about.
