These idiotic freaks will do anything to try to “disprove” the existence of God; but I have news for them - they will utterly fail like they always have.

Western Christendom was thrown out by Western “leaders” in the 60s and now our nations worship ‘diversity’ and the environment. It’s not going to end well for us.

Sounds like Lysenkoism. Which may be appropriate, since we are now a Stalinist society.

Indeed. It was God who breathed life into us, and someday we will all return to the dust from where we came.

The madascar lemurs bite millipedes. They don’t generally kill the millipedes at least that’s not the intent. Just biting them releases some kind of lemur narcotic. The lemurs rub the bitten millipedes over their hair and skin and get really stoned.

What’s a morel?

Joe Rogan is just a low-end regurgitator of other people’s ideas and an entertainer. McKenna, the original proponent of the above ideas on the other hand was a truly brilliant man and philosophical polymath. That said, forum discussions in these areas always seem to devolve into the intellectual equivalent of beer belches.

“Scientists say” = real science.

Hey guys, they put the “science” stamp on it, so you have to jump on board.

You don’t want to be one of those dummies that doesn’t “follow the science,” do you?

I would like to know how somebody discovered that licking a certain TOAD would cause hallucinations.......................

I’m surprised nobody’s set up lab experiments feeding magic mushrooms to monkeys to see what happens. Or Biden, if monkeys aren’t available.

“Talk about no morels.“

Haha

[enumerated]

You don’t think animals have consciousness?

[mmichaels1970]

Talk about no morels.

HAAA!

[enumerated]

It’s a type of mushroom.

FRiend, there is likely nothing on Earth that a human hasn't licked at one point. My grandson eats playsand.

They also found information that suggested psilocybin connected the brain's frontal lobes, prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex millions of years ago.

These regions are responsible for decision-making, problem-solving and reasoning skills.

Apparently Ravens eat magic mushrooms.

I think even rocks have a “consciousness” of sorts, All the more so, apparently, if those mushrooms have been growing on them.

[BlueLancer]

Talk about no morels.

Okay, well, here's some ..

[Secret Agent Man]

Thinking they were wise, they showed themselves to be fools.

Or maybe women just needed a mechanism to stop them screaming or crying like a little kid all the time.
