christianity has been disproved by the almighty science.

not only that but just probabaly every country or region of this planet has a different belief, so who's to say that any are right? i'm a person who believe is facts. and there is absolutely no PROOF that any sort of higher being ever gave any human being the knowledge of their existence and power. so, in theory, i believe in some sort of an eternally anonymous higher being that created the universe and things necessary to evolve into the wonderful, complex and capable beings we are today. discovering where i came from made me more content than any religious view ever has. belonging as another intertwined part of this universe, like all universal matter, is my enlightenment to you.

what are we? animals. what makes us special? nothing. what makes us different? 4 billion somethin years of evolution, the complex minds we have, the ability to shape the world and things in it as we see fit. and the ability to innovate, and mass communicate. while these are nevertheless stunning and marvelous compared to other species, we are still part of the same tree. we all evolved from this planet. so what makes us subject to the word of "god" and not animals? or aliens? or children? nothing. and don't give me none of that purgatory BS.

in the bible, the term "herb salesmen" was later translated to merchants.
the term christ is hebrew or arabic for the annointed one, and in biblical days people used marijuana resin as a topical oil, annointing oneself with cannabis.
