However, how is one expected (legally) to "prove" ones faith? I and many others truly believe that Marijuana is better for the human body than alcohol, but I have a beer on a rare occasion. Christians smoke, curse, kill, molest children, and even do direct recruiting in our prisons, but what proves christianity is any more a religion than the worship of a plant as a difinative example of natures complexity? Afterall, the Bible is professed to be pretty much exactly the difinative example of human complexity, or maybe Gods complexity, or maybe just human psychology. Anyway, what are the real legal boundries of judging a "religious Corporation"? Though I feel I see right through the use of religion here, I also see it with converted Christian prisoners, who use new found religion effectively in parole hearings. Are they just using Christianity for freedom? How can one truly judge? For our freedom, we need to be assured that all arguments and evidence is fairly shared with the jury of peers. Capable, logical, adult, peers, with acknowledged acceptable resoning abiltiy, who have been chosen by both sided to come to a fair and reasonable conclusion based on "All applicable evidence". It seems when marijuana is added to any conversation it changes the entire course of it. If this was really about religious freedoms and expression, say of a muslim nature, or some zimbobway tribe using a haluciniganic drink to commune with the spirits, this guy would be a hero to many who turn their backs on hime in the name of marijuana, or god, or morals, or something lacking logic. I'm pretty sure that the zealots of the anti marijuana position get so adrenaline high from the mention of marijuana, that this is the true nature of thier fear. Look at what they really think marijuana does. If it effects them so strongly by mention, it must destroy every preconceived notion to actually use it. Should we not simpathize with such paranoid behavior and reasure them that god (through our legal system) will protect them? NO!! I think they need to check their faith, not the faith of this pastor. Just my take.
