So essentially they are mind-altering?   And you see you no evidence in scripture that this is frowned upon?  Is that right?

they are mind altering yes. So is alcohol. So is a passionate sermon.

Well, interesting topic....are you aware that Manna (from heaven) is in fact psychedelic mushrooms?  

http://www.atlanteanconspiracy.com/2008/09/jesus-christ-magic-mushroom-part-1.html

There are some serious schools of thought that discuss the idea that the bible is a trip report of shrooms.....

http://zazenlife.com/2012/09/10/the-bible-is-a-trip-report/

But this is not the really interesting thing. The really interesting question is why an omnipotent, caring god would heal cancer victims and the like through the documented power of prayer, yet is unable to restore limb functionality to amputees.........

Well it's a loaded question because its assuming God is real in the first place, but let's just ignore all the evidence on the contrary for a minute and entertain the idea that he exists. I Personally cannot see how he can not have anything but love for them, seeing as he's the guy that made them in the first place. If he's pissed off with them then it's because he's a shit artist with a capricious temperament...kinda like an omnipotent Van Gogh, and therefore not really worthy of much praise, seeing as he wants to condemn his own creations to hell.

I did some research scripturally and came up with a few thoughts:

1 Corinthians, it says that "In Christ there is neither male nor female, but all are one in Him"

In Genesis, it says that "He created them male, and female" But that was before sin entered, now we have things like babies born with both genetalia, both chromosomes etc - we can safely assume that God is not creating individual people this way - it would contradict himself right?

In Leviticus, it says that "Men who wear womens clothing, and women who wear mens clothing are detestable to the Lord"

But again in Proverbs, it says that there are things which the lord particularly hates/are abomination to him.....liars, pride filled people etc but no mention of dime piece trannies.

If it is faith alone in Christ, that makes a person 'saved' and part of God's family.....why would it matter if someone has gender identity crisis but still loves Jesus with all their heart?

[BigCyp]

And you see you no evidence in scripture that this is frowned upon?

Alcohol is not once frowned upon in scripture, however preaching with a false motive is scorned pretty harshly.

In the book of Leviticus, God commands his people to buy wine (hebrew word in this instance is fermented wine) and also strong drink (hebrew word is over-fermented/liquor) and to have a feast before Him and rejoice. They were actually to spend their tithes for this purpose lol, we can safely say the Lord is not concerned with alcohol, however, drunkeness (from alcohol, but also as a state of mind) is a sin.

[BigRo]

yes, so better not have that glass of wine or make love to your wife, those demonic mind altering activities  

[BigCyp]

As a christian taking my wife to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks time, which psylocybin truffles do you recommend we purchase before reading our night time devotions, BigRo?

[Man of Steel]

I know what scripture states about alcohol and preaching.  

I'm just asking about whether or not you see any evidence in scripture about using or not using magic mushrooms?

Thought we could talk about it....it's not a trap or anything.

MOS, I believe that the bible says its okay to only do missionary position.

Since you found God, do you only do missionary position? No oral? Your wife must be bummed about this.

I'm dense, can you point me to the scripture in Levitcus?  I do recall what you're mentioning, but can't find it in Leviticus.

Maybe Deuteronomy?

there is just one type of truffles available and maybe 2 or 3 different brands so to speak. I found truffles were hard on my stomach, maybe they were old.

Cheers Ro.

Always wanted to try them, I guess Amsterdam would be the best place. I've hired out a real nice houseboat for a few days, so at least I will be in a comfortable environment.

They're pretty amazing.  Haven't had a bad experience.

I'm sure I will have a blast lol. The houseboat has a very nice entertainment system, and i'm considering talking a film like Kung Fu Hustle to buzz out on

I've mostly just walked around and looked at stuff.  Personally didn't want to be around people who were not tripping.

Found trees and shit more interesting to look at than tech.....all personal though.

The Dream of the Assbunny

One peaceful summer night, Schlong Tzu went to sleep and dreamed he was Tbombz in the form of a hopping, horny, devil-may-care Assbunny. Oh, what gay sex he had! Offering his furry bung to men with bad credit ratings, lapsed car inspections, and 50,000 miles of road on their faces; the smell of stale beer, cum, and puke wafting over him. "This is bliss," he reflected. Suddenly, however, he was startled awake: groggy,  butt sore, and with a strong craving for the cock, "How strange?’' he thought to himself, not being able to distinguish whether Schlong Tzu had dreamt he was the Assbunny or if the Assbunny had dreamt he was Schlong Tzu.

[Primemuscle]

There was no person called 'Leviticus'. The book of Leviticus in the Bible comes from the Greek translation of the scriptures called the 'Septuagint' where this particular book was called 'Leuitikon' or 'matters of the Levites'. The Levites were one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and were named after Levi who was one of the 12 sons of Jacob, (who later had his name changed to Israel.)

How the Assbunny led to the Deus Absconditus (or, the God who hides)

Taking a moment to survey His wondrous feats of creation, on the Sixth Day, God made the Assbunny, and, after taking notice of His creature, He decided to hide from this world, instead turning his omnipotence to actualizing other possible worlds, of which this one, because it includes the abominable Assbunny, is not the best. Hence, the all powerful Lord did not rest on the seventh day, he skipped out of town on what became known henceforth as The Ssabbass. And that is how the Assbunny led irrevocably to the Deus Absconditus (Apocrypha 2.i: Anagignoskomena: Versio Tbombzius)
