You’ve found some. Madras, hungh? Former Portland, here.. Yur in a half-decent place, till the big one hits off shore and your decision becomes, to help those to your west, or head east (fast). But don’t look into that while your stoned, either

Religion is a tool of evil. Some recognize and avoid it. Some use it. Some fall for it. Seems most around here have shaken it.. I never ‘had it.’ In my formative years, the PNW was the ‘least churched’ portion of the USA. Now, it’s our NE.

Someone recently posted something about the Arab Israeli conflict, reminds me of the recent religious massacre.. I’d once paid close attention, rooting for moderation, Camp David ..and all that. Nope, too many obtain power by division, and it’s too easy to divide. I’ve now assumed those people, drenched in religion, may fight forever. So I let em.

Get stoned when safe & bored, but don’t make it a habit. Dodge religion with all you’ve got. Stick around here. Work can set you free. And prepare yourself for a magnitude 7 ..with thousands of staggering zombies headed your direction from the wet side

Oh, and you'll find plenty of support in your religious hostility.

(As well as your choice of entheogen.)

and it's all freeeeee

We're all mad, here. Care for some tea?

Not sure how high tech. Various levels. Welcome. A good place to vent. Some great people, some annoying, pretty much a good family.
