Political corruption and the banning of hemp

Considering hemp is one of the most useful plants known to man, the banning of its large scale (industrial) farming is a sign of the deep level of political corruption at play in our world.

Industrial hemp, though related to the cannabis sativa plant, doesn't have the drug component of that plant, and so it's banning cannot be considered part of the failed, duplicitous "war on drugs". Instead, its' banning is clearly a corrupt move to protect environmentally and socially unsound chemical production industries and the profits they provide to the greedy and immoral "1%".

To vote any political leader in who doesn't support the full legalization of hemp is to vote in a corrupt candidate who is no friend of the people, only a friend of the "1%". This should be made abundantly clear by those with a voice to express it, as loudly as possible!

The clock is ticking and the Earth and its' people can't afford to continue to cow-tow to the greedy, corrupt 1%, who have been only pursuing their own interests for decades now, and are willing to destroy the earth and its' people to achieve them.

The needless burning of unwanted vegetation

A lot of burning of unwanted vegetation goes on in the countryside, here in Australia, and probably around the world.

Heaven forbid the vegetation should be left to provide habitat for animals and insects, to enrichen and help structure the soil, and to generally improve the local environment!

I guess it's just too "untidy" for the anally retentive minds of the property owners to handle.  Everything must look like a lifeless 1950's suburban yard.  So as a result we get a lifeless, boring environment that is hostile to life and the air full of sickening smoke, just so some tight asses can have a "tidy" property!

Dumping in the sea...

is unkind to our friends!

Don't necessarily weaken government, but de-corrupt it!

The government needs to be more powerful than any one (or group of) corporations, colluding with each other.

Of course, much of the existing political process in America is influenced by corporations and wealthy and powerful individuals, to an extent which effectively makes much of the government an extension of the corporate world rather than a servant of the public.

Cell complexity and the death of naturalism

Diagram of the simplest known self-reproducing life form on Earth.

Naturalism is the idea that life on earth arose spontaneously, without outside intelligent agency, from simple proteins combining to form a living cell, able to reproduce itself, and able to evolve over time into the myriad of life forms we see today.

Darwin's theory of evolution is philosophy, not science

Untestable theories aren't science. The theory of evolution is an example. It is too broad to test conclusively, so therefore it isn't science, just speculative philosophy, and those who teach it aren't scientists, in my view.

It’s not brainwashing when it’s the truth!

LSD, spiritual experiences and science

Hallucination & revelation compared

Hallucination implies false data is being received by the self,

Atheist has spiritual awakening on LSD

by Jaritheskater

I experienced my spiritual awakening through LSD as well. I had used it 3 times before, a couple of years before the breakthrough. In those years i had built up a huge scientific, materialistic ego, considering myself atheist.

My brother and some friends were getting into spirituality while i was still deep in the science delusion. When i took the LSD this time,

Did one or many gods create Earth?

It is commonly believed by followers of monotheistic religions that the original being (God /Creator) who began all processes of creation, single-handedly created the Earth and all life upon it.

This is a simple belief that satisfies many, but the reality is we have no way of knowing the truth of this matter, unless we have memory of this event occurring- which I know of none that claim to have.

In reality, there is no reason to believe that the original Creator is responsible for every individual act of creativity that has occurred since the original movement from formless being into the creation of worlds.

Clearly, humans are also creative beings, responsible for having a dramatic effect on the world around them, and so, similarly, it is possible that the original Creator may have given birth to additional creative beings who went on to create other beings, worlds, and forms of life to inhabit these worlds.

In other words, the original Creator may have delegated further creation to a variety of beings that "He" created.  We would call these beings gods due to their greater creative powers than we humans and if these gods possess free will then the worlds they create would be their responsibility and not the responsibility of the original Creator.

There is no reason to suggest that the physical universe was the work of one creative mind.  It may be the work of several or even a vast number of creative minds.  If so, the universe would be the combined responsibility of all these creative beings rather than the responsibility of the original creator just as the situation on Earth is the combined responsibility of the individual free will beings living upon it.

Many people struggle to understand why a supposedly loving God would create diseases, nuisance insects and the battle for survival we see on Earth.  The answer may be that the situation on Earth and the life forms that exist upon it may be the work of a large variety of creative beings who may not always have created in a "Godly" way.  That is, some may have created out of ignorance or even ill-will.  The truth is, we have no way of knowing first hand.  But what we do know is that if all life forms were created by beings other than the original Creator then these beings bear responsibility for them.
