So are you saying that your purpose in taking psychedelics is to better love your enemies? What I'm getting at is that jesus didn't call for the use of psychedelics--and he surely could have if he wanted to. Why not?He did, however, call for his followers to give away all their possessions (even their clothes) and forget all worldly interests (and even to castrate themselves, if one reads Matthew 19:12 literally). Yet, I find virtually NO christians doing those things. So I'm really PERPLEXED when people call themselves christians; and that goes doubly for christian psychonauts. Jesus was the guy to deliver the message--and his message wasn't ANYTHING LIKE the use of psychedelics (unless you'd like to show me otherwise).BTW, I'm not really trying to challenge (or disparage) you. I'm trying to UNDERSTAND how you've chosen to define yourself--and define yourself in the context of saying that using psychedelics is an expression of your religious faith--that faith being christianity. If you believe jesus was specially glorified by god, and jesus didn't take or recommend psychedelics, then what's up?
