The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

"Religious faith is the species of human ignorance that will not admit even the possibillity of correction."-Sam Harris
For Man to move forward we must throw away religion, and put it in the Mythology section, and then use Reason, Logic, and Common sense to solve all our daily problems. That's a Higher Level of Thinking.

This. Explains. EVERYTHING!
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Guys, the idea that the anointing oils used by the ancient Jews contain weed is basically an internet meme. There is zero physical evidence.

The logic in the source article is shocking, and it's hosted on a pro-weed website... I'm a stoner and even I call bullshit, pro weed websites are mostly just a bunch of self-important wasters with no concept of verifying their claims. They will leach on the first mention of weed and squeeze all sorts of bullshit from it. The biblical verses in "support" of the claims are also hardly relevant.

The only 'evidence' period is a potential interpretation of the word "keneh-bosm" which is disputed by most scholars of Jewish antiquity.

And it also relies on the idea that getting stoned through the skin is effective... I've been up to my forearms in resin more than once (using the ice-water method did not go as planned Smile ), and it didn't do a thing to my state of mind.

Firstly, it makes you wonder what Jesus would do, if he was living in our time, maybe say blessed are the stoners perhaps. Secondly, I wonder if Catholics now will have pictures like these in their homes.

No fucking way, it would undermine their belief that God agrees with them (though in their heads it's flipped to "I agree with God").
