Mind altering substances are the work of Satan.

Hail Satan!

Hail Satan!

Satan is just another incarnation of God (probably after he was denied nooky by Mrs. God).

The day the majority of Christians actually follow what Jesus 'said,' I'll take back my statement.

Psychedelics often get one to think "outside" of one's box. That sounds like a direct threat to the mind control of religion to me -- one might consider and even experience alternatives in the sanctum of their own mind.

Not only that but psychadelics can show just how fallible our minds are. If someone who believes they experience the holy spirit all of the time dropped acid, they might just realize how much the holy spirit as been in their head.

The majority Christians believe in the trinity, three gods rolled into one, Robertson is one of them.

So Catholics are the majority Christian? And what does that have to do with my statement?

I hope your ex never learns your on here coz this sort of talk could prejudice your custody battle.

I've just heard of a chap in another section who was fired for what he posted on facebook.

Sorry to bring you down.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

1) Only stupid people register on 'social media'. So that guy's boss was right, who wants stupid personnel?

2) Which is why sensible people use a moniker and proxies.

No, only stupid people make posts dangerous to their jobs available for anyone to see.

Social media reflects how you use it.
