Here's my angle/question:
Granted, bullshit "woo woo," ect. Can be easily dismissed and they should be.
That said, what about personal experience? Are the profound and meaningful "visions" people have on psychedelics also "bullshut?"
If they tried to explain them and decided to write them down on something, even today, already on the way out (paper,) like some animal skin.
That antiquated method of sharing an experience that's barely understood, couldn't possibly be misappropriated, by some delusional fool who thinks they've understood an experience that the person in question barely did?
Is that a profound and deeply meaningful, or experience bullshit?
I say no, the interpretation and translation is likely to blame.
Here's a fallacy and/or delusion for you:
We've looked back at these profound spiritual experiences, written centuries or millennia before our time, are misunderstood and misappropriated.
Now what? Go do mushrooms or other psychedelics, try to share them. Are you the next myth that will be misused for the next generations? Are you the victim that will be used to form the next cult and/or religion?
Maybe your profound experiences are next?
What now.
Joe, you don’t know much about the Bible. The Bible perspective should be discussed. Maybe invite someone on your show with a different opinion; that knows the history of old and new testaments. Constantine was very pro-church and he legalized it Christianity. Also didn’t write any books of the Bible!
