alright so, it is time. this is going to be a long, winding, rambling thread. i posted yesterday about demons existing and this interesecting with the world of psychedelia. ive posted about this in the past a little and there is always a huge response, people are very into it.

one thing that comes up for me about the christian stuff owen talks about is that it's frustrating how much of my childhood exposure to christianity amounted to extremely braindead "hurr durr christians / conservatives don't believe in evolution or gay marriage" memes

i was never exposed to even a single serious believer growing up, all of my nominally christian friends pretty much just went to church and otherwise had beliefs indistinguishable from mine as far as i could tell (and i was raised with no religious beliefs whatsoever)

reading c.s. lewis and the chesterton quotes scott loves and a few other things have at least broadened my perspective there, i know there are real serious christians now, that there is actual spiritual substance here worth grappling with, so that's something at least

it does seem like, at a bare minimum, serious psychedelic use (or extensive meditation etc) can reveal deep-seated christian beliefs that were not at all visible before, probably even in people who were never nominally christian. it's deeply in the cultural water
