a working statement of my beliefs

Rev.Holden Greene · Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2005 5:13 am Post subject: a working statement of my beliefs

scince coming here ive felt compelled for the first time in my life to analize my religious beliefs & contemplate them & what religion is , as my expeirances had always shown religion as buissiness and very contradictory and for profit but now i realize most religions are born to try and free people & encourage a betterment in self & society & with the ministrys philosophy & interfaith approach i believe it can stand the test of time as its not clouded with contradictory scriptures that have been mistranslated & interpreted & its tennants are quite simple as are the ulcs

now this is a work in progress earlier posts in the thread may not be truly representative of what i feel now but i will try and update as i have revelations or doubts

any thoughts or constructive criticizem are welcome i dont claim these belifs true just what i belive right now

i dont believe in a traditional god or supreme being

i belive in the forces & spirits of nature

i belive in eveloution & darwinizim i dont belive in creatioinisim or an afterlife

i belive cannabis to be a teacher plant that has significantly aided in the eveolution of our brain and the way we reflect on & think about all of our expeiriances & how we act on them as evidenced in our brains having the receptors built into our brains & that our bodies now produce it naturaly

& that it is one of the only plants to have seperate male & female plants maybe it was our direct ancestor

that its fruits can heal nearly all our nations fuel , fiber , hunger , shelter , medical , clothing, spiritual if im leaving any out let me know im sure i am

i belive tending to the plant to be very educational as to help teach and impart a deep wisdom & methodology & patience on levels many might think riddiculous

i believe in karma though i dont belive it to be infallable i dont know how to rationalize this

i belive in the opposite of fate i forget the word for it but i saw it carved in some kids arm on a movie & thought about getting a tatto of it

well thats all for now

Well said, Rev Greene...

A statement of beliefs should always be a work-in-progress, IMHO.

Bliss on,
Ben
