So you need prayer to get through the day? How is that any less weak? You're relying on an external force by believing an all-powerful being is watching over you and guiding your life.
You can't compare a substance to religion fam. Only an idiot would make that comparison.

It's not idiotic at all.

Both are methods of coping. Both praying and drinking cause the brain to release certain levels of dopamine and serotonin into your bloodstream, which are responsible for the feeling of relaxation or being "at peace".

One relies on a substance while the other relies on a ritual, but the end result is the same; you feel better about whatever.

It may seem offensive to religious types but if you understand how the brain works, you'll find they are very similar in nature from a coping perspective.

There are, of course, obvious non-trivial differences, though.

Lets say I'm an idiot then. Be a smart guy and explain how its different.

Religion is a crutch for you. Your entire significance depends on it and would fall apart without it. Now I'm not trying to diss religion here. It can do a lot of good. We live in a fukked up world and many people use religion to bring significance to their lives. I applaud that because anything that makes this life worth living is a good thing. But it doesn't mean your will is any stronger than those who rely on something else.

My question is for the ppl that "need" drugs or alcohol is what would you do if you was in jail and had to face your problems sober. Would you go crazy or be an adult and deal with life.

that depends on the person, but really you're commenting on addicts, and if you're an addict, you're suffering from a disease, and diseases make you weak. The regular person that just fiends for something at a random moment is just being normal.

If you lock me in a room without anything I can cope with my problems. A person dependent on drugs or drinks would get the shakes. That's the difference.

i haven't read the thread but people do drugs because their reality isn't right. i know people who claim they don't do drugs but drink liquor and smoke cigs, whats the difference besides the legalities?

i look at a historical viewpoint for why a lot of folks aren't happy. we weren't supposed to be doing repetitive 9-5 jobs as homo-sapiens. our bodies were built for hunting and gathering, people need a release from this matrix lifestyle. plus, once you're addicted to certain drugs, it's a wrap.

not condoning druggies though, if you have real responsibilities than why are you messing with your mentality and health. just speaking from the perspective as someone whose shroomed and taken ecstasy. :yeshrug:

I'm 50/50 on this subject. I think that some people are weak if they absolutley need a cig, weed, drugs, alcohol, coffee,cafeine, etc in order survive. That is some slave mentalit type shyyt. I've personally seen people have meltdowns/temper tantrums when they don't get coffee or cigs. Shytt is mad embarassing. If u need a chemical in order to get trhu your day, then yeah u are a weak slave. There is no way around that. But for the regular people that say they wana drink after a hard days work or those who burn trees on the regular casually. I see no problem with that. But when u depend on a drug. Or alcohol 2 survive then u gotta keep it 100 with urself. People are gonna do what they do, I really don't give a fucc, but u gotta be honest with urself! :yeshrug:
