[FRIAM] now it's personal

OK. So Christianity is *evidence* that we should not allow normies to do psychedelics? When Joe Sixpack takes a couple of hits of acid, he might start to believe really stupid things and start a religion that goes on to destroy the worlds' greatest artifacts?  So, what bar do we have to put in place? The Political Compass? Only those with scores below <-6,-6> are allowed to trip. 8^D

Or maybe the lesson is the opposite, only normies should trip. Those of us who are *already insane* don't need them. We're already gods.

Speaking of heresy: 

Church torches altar used in a ‘demonic’ three-way sex session

This sounds like a great new form of vandalism: Run around the country filming your 3-way sex on as many altars as possible. Fun and good for society!

You could make a good argument that banning the Mysteries is the direct primal cause of our alienation from each other as human beings as well as Nature — thus precipitating all our current woes, including the climate crisis.
