Nope. I have never been caught up in the mass delusion upon which charismatic religions are based. If I want a high, I will smoke a j. Somehow I have managed to enjoy life in the unaltered state the last few years. I will admit to shrooms and Carlos Castaneda in my younger days, and I have read quite a bit of literature on subjects dealing with standard religion, ye olde religions, radical awakening/awareness, pretty much everything but Islam (they can fuck off), but I just try to live a life that leaves me little room for regret. If I fuck up, I don't need guidance. I just need not to do that again. I find religion is for the weak or predatory. I'm not either.
It takes more work my way. I don't have the luxury of praying for Jebus to send me a check in the mail or take away my misery. Instead I deal with the suckier parts of life and wake up in the morning whether I feel like it or not. I just keep on truckin', baby.
