Interrupting an ongoing discussion to post your personal beliefs is one form of threadshitting and it is not permitted, here. Go open your own thread to spread your “Word,” or refrain from posting.

**Everyone,** while it is fun to bat around the woo, this is not the thread in which to do it. That hijack is ended. [/Moderating] ---

**Hypertiger,** thanks for channeling [The Brethren Evangelist](http://archive.org/stream/brethrenevangeli47bret/brethrenevangeli47bret_djvu.txt). But no matter how much you miss it, TigerDude, it’s not 1925 anymore. Anslinger is long gone, the Hays Code is in the dustbin, and Reefer Madness is now mainstream. Chill out. ETA: **Tomndebb,** where you been hiding? ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > The East Texas Baptists will vote dry as long as they can stagger down to the polling place. They’ll vote it staggeringly damp, that is. I bet East Texas will finally settle on “clubs” where you buy your pot club membership and get a free bong or something. They have a knack for taking something that’s pretty natural, and making it weird and perverse out there. Most everyone does the thing that is supposedly verboten, but you’ve got to go through some silly ritual to do it. > [@tomndebb](#): > > It is Easter. I am celebrating my faith and sharing with family, not watching over you unruly, unholy lot. Awww, no reason to go name-calling just because I can’t go along with the presupposition of a divine entity. I hope your family got what they wanted out of their holiday. Enjoy your eggs. 🙂 And sin or not: if I could switch it on or off without consequences, I’d spend every moment when complete lucidity isn’t necessary somewhere on the continuum to schnockered. Being altered is funner 'n hell. It’s the short and long term consequences you have to consider, not the opinion of some being that’s too flim-flam to prove they exist. YMMV, of course. ---
