Religious Thought: War on Drugs?!

I find it strange that we in the west have had a war on drugs for at least the entirety of my life, it seems. Yet, the euphoric state of peace and carelessness is exactly what much of Christianity prescribes to being in heaven. Many I've talked to will say heaven must be much like being in love all the time (in love with God, of course) and little else seems to enter the picture. Of course, the obsessive, euphoric state that we commonly describe as love is a highly disturbed period of a person's life that's not unlike an addiction.

Now, I don't know about you, but I would find trillions of years in a drugged haze to be a vast waste of existence (not to mention the obvious question: why would God want to keep everyone in that state?).

So, basically, Christians are a vast organization of pushers in the midst of a turf war. They're trying to run all other drugs off the street to get a monopoly for their own version.

Supplemental thoughts:

(1) Perhaps the 'chosen' represent those who are most susceptible to the drug!

(2) Why would God want an 'army' of mindless, addicted souls?

The Truth 101: Going to Church

People do not go to church because they want to believe in a higher power than themselves. People find religion because they want to believe in a higher power than themselves. They go to church because they want someone else to tell them what and how to believe about such a higher power.

Religious Thought of the Day

The religious view of mankind is akin to putting someone on a pedestal and then kicking the crap out of them.

State of the World

With all the religious-themed hatred, bigotry and violence being perpetrated on all sides, I'd say the world has gone crazy. But was it ever sane?
