Can you demonstrate this to be true?

You've mentioned dreams telling you it was true, but lots of people have made that claim about other, mutually exclusive gods. How do you know that your dreams are real and their dreams are not real?

I don't believe for a second that you were ever a committed atheist.

And as I said before, there are tons of people who have had dream visions where gods supposedly told them they were real, gods that would not coexist with your theology.

Why should anyone other than you take your dream seriously?

Be careful, there, and note Deuteronomy 18:20 and Luke 16:16.

That is illegal and using drugs goes against the will of the lord. Have you ever went to see a priest over the possibility of demons attempting to control you? My local priest has talked before about how demons attempt to take over your body and make you sin.

Disgusting. Revoking the true faith should be punishable. Especially when you pretend to be a Muslim.

8/10 Poe.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Well my god says if you don't drop at least fifty hits of acid in your life you'll be living in a bad neighborhood in Toronto on the next plane of existence. You should go find your nearest dealer and repent as quickly as possible.

No praise for Satan, the one who ensured man had actual knowledge of good and evil? I find it ironic that Satan is the one n that story who supposedly made us moral agents, rather than robots.
