Does anybody have any opinions on them one way or the other ? .

Yes

Don't have any! And educate the users so they will know for certain the 
damage they are doing to what's left of their brain.

How about alcohol? do you feel the same way?

Jose

Certainly do! Although alcohol is far more sociably acceptable in society in 
general. But IMHO people who need alcohol to socialise are lacking 
something. Sure ban all stimulants.

I would agree that "needing" alcohol is negative. Like it would be needing 
cannabis... etc. But for a lot of people, alcohol is a pleasurable thing. I 
dislike seeing all these dunken people out on Saturday nights after the bars 
close... but I enjoy my drinks with my friends. Ban alcohol? hell no! But 
punish those who become a nuisance, whether it's alcohol induced or not. I'd 
rather live in an "adult" society where we can be informed and are free 
choose what we want or not to do.
Same applies to cannabis, in my opinion. Legalise and tax it just like 
alcohol is.
I just wouldn't have tolerance for excuses like "oh, I did it 'cos I was 
high/drunk". That's all.

At least neither of these does anything remotely like the harm that the 
drug of religion does. It really pisses Me off that despite my clear 
instructions never to make false idols of me (by which I meant, of 
course, don't you dare claim you can describe who I am and therefore 
have the authority to speak for Me) groups of power-crazy zealots have 
fooled millions of feeble-minded followers addicted to the drug of 
Faith that, despite my unmistakable requests that they be fair and 
loving to each other, I actually detest anyone with dark skins, anyone 
with boobies, anyone who fancies members of their own gender, anyone 
who enjoys sex... in fact, come to think, who enjoys most things 
pleasurable I create -- so much so in fact that apparently I'd like 
them personally to persecute such people on my behalf so that, for 
example, homosexual teenagers are driven to suicide, women and treated 
as second class members of society, the lovely human body I designed 
and the pleasures I created it to give are turned into things to be 
ashamed of, and any part of the world not controlled by anglo saxons is 
fair game for genocidal wars of aggression including the incidental 
murder of tens of thousands of my (literal) children. All this is done 
in My name by thick-headed fearmongers addicted to the drug of 
religion, who arrogantly claim to be speaking for Me!  Well sod them. 
They need to learn to be more humble, lighten up, and be a bit more 
tolerant of others who don't share their personal preferences the world 
would be a lot more loving, as I meant it. Hmmm... methinks it's time 
to do a bit of smiting of everyone religious, as they are by far the 
most evil and insidious drug pushers on My planet.

The prosperity of the wicked.

Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notorious sinners, 
but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God's patience; and, 
in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve 
his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin; but the chief reason is, 
because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering 
sinners make light of God and religion, as if because they have so much of 
this world, they had no need to look after another. But religion is not a 
vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the 
outside of it. Job shows their folly. (Job 21:17-26)

17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their 
destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

   18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm 
carrieth away.

   19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he 
shall know it.

   20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of 
the Almighty.

   21For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of 
his months is cut off in the midst?

   22Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

   23One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

   24His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

   25And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with 
pleasure.

   26They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.



Repent,

Do not take the Lords name in vain.

My point entirely. Thank you for making it so succinctly.  :-)  I'm 
glad you have seen the light about the detestable activity perpetrated 
by millions of evil-doers who call themselves 'religious' and claim to 
be perpetrating their hate-ridden acts of prejudice, oppression, 
repression, and violence in My name.

I mean, I know I'm omniscient and everything, but I just can't 
understand how these arrogant bastards can square in their own minds my 
totally clear instructions not to take My name in vain, with their 
constant preaching on about how they are acting on My behalf. No you're 
not, people! Don't kid yourself if you think I'm on your side just by 
quoting out of context a convenient passage or two from writings 
produced by second or third hand reporters, years after the death of 
one of my many prophets, centuries ago, which were then selectively 
edited from all the other things written by all the other similar 
reporters by humans with vast vested interests running lobbying 
organisations that endowed them with power and privilege. Get real! I'm 
the only being that knows My mind, so get off your pedestal before I 
smite thee down for your arrogance.

I'm seriously thinking of sending fiery thunderbolts into every church 
on the planet one Sunday, to rid the poor planet of the false idolators 
who inhabit these sick centres of moral terrorism. That would make the 
place a lot more peaceful and loving as I intended. Spread the word!

Amazing. the arsehole that tells us that those who need alcohol to
socialise are missing something is someone who needs 'god' to do his
thinking for him.
