I did drugs and found God so I won't tell others to not do drugs.
We can’t all find God in a church.
Some of us need a push. A big push.
A drug-fueled push.
That was me. I hated the church. I didn’t care about God. Sure I believed there was “something” like every stoned college kid believed.
I was “spiritual but not religious.”
We were all spiritual not religious.
I was pretty much just saying, “I have no fucking idea.”
I learned about Jesus through clips of the Bush Administration. Through people calling the war in Iraq a crusade. Through my gay friends being told they would never get to experience marriage. (Which judging by the straight marriages I saw, maybe wasn’t that bad a deal.)
I never heard what Jesus stood for only what he was against.
I started speaking out against the church in my standup.
I said fuck God for being a homophobe on TV! (We all do crazy things in our 20’s)
I opened for Richard Dawkins AND Christopher Hitchens.
My life rock-bottomed a few times. I never turned to God. Why bother? I screwed up my life! What is God gonna tell me? To protest Planned Parenthood?
I was pretty far gone.
If I was gonna find God it wasn’t going to be from a pamphlet or a billboard. It had to be big.
And big I got.
When you YouTube search for Christians talking about mushrooms the results are not…nuanced.
Looking up Christians takes on psychedelic drugs was like teleporting back to the 50’s. The non-fun non-drug fueled type of telporting.
So we decided to talk about it. Talk about it honestly. Alex has never done a drug and I found God through my story (and got to do some other fun stuff.
