I really think one of the big reasons religion exists is as a justification of morals. If one would only consider science and logic then it’s very easy to reduce one’s behavior to “survival of the fittest” and there would be no justification for being nice and courteous and helping other people (except for situations where we want something from other people). Of course it does seem that today’s society is moving in that direction anyway but i don’t think that’s an improvement. Religion is a a excellent ‘excuse’ for being nice without the expectation of getting anything back.

Also most religion provides a whole extra dimension in meaning of life stuff that’s just not there if all we are is slightly improved apes. I think most great things done (and many not so great things too) are done because people wanted for change. And for that to happen they have to be motivated that things can change. Religion is a good motivation for people to want things to change for the better.

And now i’m going to get some sleep before i type more rambling ….

I think for any legislation one of the key issues always is (or should be) enforcability. that leaves only two options. Either legalize marijuana or increase enforcement by a lot. If the US would put the same military power to fighting drug cartels as it currently spends abroad i think it would die out quite fast.

that said i don’t think it’s a good idea to smoke pod. any happiness gained from drugs of any kind of no rue happiness at all.
