Cut the psycho-babble...it's a holiday.

Just a quick post. A friend of a friend posted on facebook today that today instead of "celebrating" like she used to, she will instead trust in Jesus...and then something along the lines of celebrating today hurts you soul or some shit...hold on now i feel the need to quote:

"Formerly, today I'd have "celebrated" this life (which ends in death) in a wordly, death-hastening way.....but now I can tell you- I have known the Lord, I am really living and I count all that fleeting "fun" as losses of the worst kind... and for any of you, my dear friends, who wake up today just go back to sleep.... please, come and see what REAL Life is all about #JesusChristnotmaryjane."

Alright. First of all, glad ya found Jesus and all...but you were a pothead. Don't forget your roots. The fact that she still observes the fact that it is 420 says a lot. No one forgets their favorite holidays. Shouldn't she be worried about that bigger holiday on Sunday...I dunno maybe the one that kind of STARTED the Christian religion? Why attack a day that doesn't even have it's own greeting cards?
Secondly, "fleeting fun as losses of the worst kind"? I wonder if her experience with the Plant (I might start typing it like that all the time capital letters and all...Jesus can't take up all the proper nouns) was any good at all, because I don't think she would feel as strongly against it had she enjoyed her time with it. True, people move on from things that don't fit their lifestyle anymore, but if the parting was "mutual" there can be no anger in looking back at it. I don't understand the judgmental tone. Exactly what part of today screams, Heathens!? If anything, today is a peaceful day, because most of the people who celebrate today are too lazy to do anything totally crazy.
Which leads me to comment also on "for any of you who wake up today, just go back to sleep" Look at the crowd your speaking to...of course we're going to go back to sleep, we're fucking potheads for crying out loud. I don't even know what that means. Then you invite us to see what REAL life is all about. Well, what is it about? For me, I think waking up everyday and living my life as a good person who works hard, cares for her family and friends, and enjoys life with or without the Plant is pretty real....but that's just me. I guess others might find that judging complete strangers on facebook and throwing Jesus in the mix is real...to each his own I guess.

As I was typing this, a few comments were posted on her link...first, my idiot friend who starts fights with anyone remotely religious, with his anti-religious psychobabble. Then I guess one of her friends with some non-intelligible gunk about how Jesus is the way...blah blah blah. It really doesn't even make sense to be honest. Like, at all....It's just Jesus this and Trust in Him that without any complete thought thrown in whatsoever. My friend may be a pushy non-believer, but wtf is that? It's not even complete sentences. And this is what makes me most mad, that some stupid debate over Jesus and drugs is going to happen over facebook. WHOOOO CAAARRREEESSSSS?!

My final thought on the whole thing? If you choose to follow Jesus, Buddah, Allah, flying spaghetti monster, whatever...that is your choice. It is also a choice to smoke weed. And both are OK. I may not believe in religion like others do, and I may be celebrating today the best way I know how, but that does NOT make me a bad person, or someone who is blind to reality. I live each day in the way that I choose. That is why God/Buddah/Allah/Flying Spaghetti Monster etc. gave us free will, so that we could make our own decisions about how to live our life. Do not judge someone simply because they are doing something you choose not to do anymore. I don't judge you for leading a life I choose not to live. Religious types always forget that little part. If there is a Jesus or God or whatever, I'm pretty sure His plan for His creations goes beyond what they choose to do on a Wednesday in April, but instead what they do in this life to better it, and for the future creations.

Oh...and for the record, there are WORSE things a person can do than smoke a bowl. Alcohol is perfectly legal, (Jesus drank it)...and it kills millions of people a year. War? Murder? Corruption? THESE are things that should be judged. Not a fucking day in April. So I'm going to change it to #JesusChristandMaryJane. The two go together nicely.
