San Diego's Antiochian Orthodox church surprises.
It's funny to see people in this day and age questioning religion. The reason we have religion is to show people how to live a better life , it's not about trying to force anyone into doing anything. The bible teaches you that if you have poor judgement then bad things will happen to you , because of your poor judgement. The reason why people have problems with religion is not religion itself , but the people that are followers or believers in a certain doctrine. Like here in $an diego when the people were trying to bring justice to those catholic priest that molested kids in their congregation. The problem was not the catholic religion , but the men who were teaching the word of god they were not right. So you can't blame the catholic religion because the gay priest were molesting young boys. Blame the gay priest for molesting kids because they are the ones doing it , not the catholic religion teaching them to do it!!! It seems that everyone talks that trash about god , because the people that are trying to follow god are weak. Wake up people , humans aren't perfect!!! If you were perfect you wouldn't be here!! If you had all the answer you wouldn't be here!!! The people that go to church fill in their own spirit that the world ain't right and that man doesn't have the answers!! So why you scrubs hating on those who want to better their lives , while you sit back and bytch and complain about yours?!! Is not the world in black & white? Is not the world centered around good and evil? There is no grey or middle area. This is what's causing people confusion!! People want a middle area , so they can play both sides of the fence!! Your either good or bad!! You either believe in god or you don't!! Your either for amerikkka or your not!! You are either a man or a woman!! Because we live in a world filled with lust , greed , envy , hate and jealousy people want to be good and bad. Men want other men , women want other women and they want to be accepted while doing it. I'm sorry man and women are like two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Two man or women pieces you just trying to make it fit. Sorry people it don't work!!! You hear people saying ( i love amerikkka this is the best place to live in the world , but i'm tried of the government raising taxes and wasting my tax dollars). If your for amerikkka then you are for them raising taxes and wasting your tax dollars , because you went out and voted the people in to run the government. Which has been raising taxes since day one , they haven't stop yet and you already know they ain't going to stop. So you can only be mad at yourself for 100% believing and 100% allowing the government to continually to screw you over!! Now that has to be stupidity at it's finest. You don't believe in teachings of god even though god created everything man can't. But you believe in a man made government that has cheated and suck the life out of people!!!!!

Oh bother here we go talking trash about those who believe in a creator. This is for those who believe and those who don't. The reason why we are here is so that the god can weed people out. For those that believe and try to follow the word of god , god has a plan for them. For those that don't believe in god , god has a plan for them too. The bible only teaches people how to live a good life. When you are free from lust , greed , envy , hate , jealousy you tend to live a better and healthier life. To deny god is to deny yourself. Man didn't create the earth , the sky , the stars , the trees or the fruits on them. Man didn't create the oceans , the mountains , the animals on land , the animals in the sky or the animals in the sea. Man didn't create the sun , the moon , rain , snow , clouds. If you really want to get technical , man didn't even create himself. The only thing man created is confusion in himself. When jesus was born , there was no fat azz white man in a clown suit flying in the skies with reindeer handing out present!!!! When jesus was reborn , there was no pure white bunny shytin out color eggs for the kids to go find!!! If you read the bible and can't understand it , it's because your heart and spirit isn't in it. People are like disobedient children that want everything except rules and guide lines. It's easier to say there isn't a god then to believe there is one , because there some many people influence by the devil with power. Some people influence by the devil are those who believe that humans evolve from monkeys into man. If you believe that an animal evolve into humans then why aren't we evolving into something else? Because in a world of evolution nothing is perfect so why hasn't man evolve yet? Why hasn't man begin to use more of the brain? According to biology it's be millions of billions of years since monkey to man and we still ain't using all of our brain for logic thinking , we still ain't evolve yet!!! The world probably wouldn't be so bad if people follow gods teachings. If people wasn't so lustful in ways we might not have so many single parents , high divorce rate , STDs , and homosexuallity!!! Anyone out there hatin on god can kiss the crack of my azz!!!! I'm in chula vista on Hst if you want to speak on it!!— May 7, 2009 10:34 a.m.

The flower for the golden state has to be that hemp flower , cause it grows so good out here in sunny california. But then again it could be that poppy flower , i'm totally not sure what cali's flower is though. monaghan- spliff is of the male species , so you don't have to type he/she anymore. It's funny how we know marijuana has good medical uses , but it's still illegal. Then we have cigarettes and alcohol that are legal , and both are in the top 5 of deaths caused in amerikkka. Then you got people taking different pills to cure something or relive pain. But the pills people are taking have about six to seven side affects , that could leave you in a worst conditions then you were before you took the damm pill!!! It seems people got they priorityies backwards , maybe because they ain't smokin that herb to heal the nation!!!!— May 5, 2009 10:01 a.m.

In the san diego union-tribune on april 29 article title "U.$. SETS SIGHT ON OPIUM TRADE IN BID TO DESTABLIZE TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN" The article talks about how the amerikkka wants to send troops to three provinces where there are opium and poppy crops growing. But they are not going there to destroy the crops , they are going there to guard them!! At the end of the article it says that" under NATO rules of engagement , U.$. and other forces are prohibited from attacking targets or people related only to narcotics production. Those people are not considered combatants. But U.$. and other forces are allowed to attack drug smugglers or facilities that are assisting the taliban." If anyone who has a brain in their head and uses about 5% of it can see what's going on here!!! Amerikkka is the new drug cartel on the block!! Amerikkka sends troops to afghanistan to monitor poppy and opium and makes sure that nobody else can ship out the product unless they are part of NATO!!!! The article is basically telling everyone who reads it , that anyone affiliated with NATO while they are controlling these opium and poppy fields can make money of these drugs!!! NATO will allow troops to guard the opium and poppy fields and kill so-called taliban if they are trying to ship the drugs out. This war on drugs is really about who is controlling the drug trade , not about stopping drug trafficking!! But if you really look at it , amerikkka stands to win big time in controlling these opium and poppy fields. They are already allowing the people in afghanistan to grow opium and poppy without any problems , so NATO has a cheap labor force that they don't have to pay a lot money to. Then the drugs come to amerikkka , where it's illegal to use or sell them. The drugs hit the streets and people are put in jail from either using or selling them. Then those people in jail become cheap labor for amerikkka behind bars and amerikkka makes money of them!!! When will people wake up and smell the marijuana?! The same people that claim they are fighting the war against drugs , are the same people bringing the drugs in this country!!!— May 4, 2009 9:05 a.m.
