Marijuana Vs. Religion -- Which is more detrimental to the black community? #DATA --POLL ADDED

[Stone Cold]

I don't wish to sound like a self re-enforcing fool who simply makes claims without evidence, but what I said above can be easily observed in real life. It would require more time than I would be willing to commit to provide examples with good context. I must admit, on the other hand, that all people are guilty of picking and choosing. It is only because many religious people claim adherence to their beliefs that they are held to that particular standard.

We don't judge the everyman because of his actions, but we scrutinize the fukk outta law enforcement and politicians because they are expected to uphold certain standards and benchmarks.

I can't observe this in real life because a lot people in my demographic in the black community simply arent religious like that



"Lost his faith in Jesus Christ, he praying to a Bandana"

They basically share the same views as a lot of you...thats why i dropped the poll to prove my point #data

The people who are cartoonishly religious like you guys are describing are older/retired and have a positive impact on the community for the most part unless theyre on drugs

meh, religion isn't going anywhere. For the most part religious folks are doing good, it's mainly the disconnect with reality that bugs me

So if religion is as unpopular as you say it is and as the poll shows how can it be as detrimental as you say it is?

The data's not adding up

Yes, the great properties of being spaced out with glazed over eyes. Talking nonsense that wouldn't be spoken otherwise. Doing things you wouldn't "normally do". Good can come from those 2, but usually it doesn't.

Maan cats act like this after geting puzzy, drinking alcohol, or getting a fat check..

Any substance you take that alters the brain can have you acting like this..

Yet we want to vilify marijuana because it gets "abused", yet has been used medicinally by other cultures for 100's of years..

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Why does one get high?

Cuz they enjoy the feeling..

Like having sex or eating candy..

or disconnect with reality

 

[FeloniousMonk]

or disconnect with reality

Naaaw..I do that with video games, the internet, music and movies..

Some people actually enjoy the feeling..

Some have addictive natures..

Some do it for pain management

Yet EVERYONE who gets high isnt doing it to "disconnect"..

I got you but my point is based on what someone said in the context of their problem with religion
I agree not EVERYONE does that marijuana the same way not EVERYONE does it with religion

There is a difference between seeking temporary solace from responsibility and wilfully ignoring universally established facts.

 

[jerniebert]

Religion is the most detrimental thing in any community. People fight wars over religion.
