Toking for truth...

Somehow this fella sounds like a critter from an anti-freeper site. I can imagine how he discovered it, "Hey, dude, kewl, look what I founds, really..."

SAN BRUNO — Seconds after Marc Perkel's mind had shifted into a higher state of thinking, he had a revelation: The Church of Reality.

Perkel was relaxing alone at home nine years ago when the light bulb went on.

"I was smoking a little weed, and I was thinking about religion," the now 52-year-old realist said. "The name kind of popped in my head. But I had a hard time grasping the idea that no one (had) thought about it. Quite frankly, that aspect (has) never gone away."

The next morning, The Church of Reality was born.

"If it's real, we believe in it," said Perkel, who is self-employed and works in Web hosting and spam filtering. "Anything true will stand up to scrutiny. We're not a faith-based religion. We're doubt-based. The Church of Reality is a new kind of religion."

Gaylor suggested America may be moving in a more secular direction due to the controversy surrounding Terry Schiavo and the fight by the government and some groups in 2005 to keep her feeding tube in.

"People are waking up to the danger of religion taking control of our government," Gaylor said................................

I used to do a bit of that (actually several times a day, every day) in my younger years and I remember having similar "revelations." Perhaps if I had followed through on this I would have my own jet and TV show!

Supreme reasoning in a thread by wagglebee.

Warrensburg, MO (LifeNews.com) -- Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia spoke to students at the University of Central Missouri on Tuesday night and told them that abortion isn't found in the Constitution. He also indicated he would be lucky to get 60 votes in today's political climate where abortion rules how senators vote on judicial confirmations.

"The reality is the Constitution doesn't address the subject at all," Scalia said of abortion. "It is one of the many subjects not in the Constitution which is therefore left to democracy.".........
