Jesus Christ creates hate -- look how easy it is to make them spew hate - "MARIJUANA - What Would Jesus Smoke?" - Jesus used (not smoked) Cannabis, says the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and many others
UPDATE 2/15/2008: I'm tired of the insults against myself and my wife, all coming from "anonymous" flickr accounts (no pictures, on contacts), and all containing the same grammatical errors. If you want a neutral debate, go to a neutral debate forum. This is my picture, my forum, my paid account, and **I** am the only God here. Anonymous commenters will be blocked.
However, all the comments that were removed were copied to the end of

I'm sorry it's had to come to this, but comment boxes on my own pictures are my own domain, and I am not a democracy.

“Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.” - The Guardian - www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,869273,00.html

Cannabis in the bible: www.ccguide.org.uk/bible.php
“Moreover the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying: “Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet KINEBOISIN two hundred and fifty shekels”
KINEBOISIN, according to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, is the old name for cannabis [i.e., the marijuana plant] - it was also spelt kannabosm. They claim it was mis-translated in the King James’ version of the bible, as “calamus”: www.slate.com/id/2162292/?nav=fix

I'm sure my friend Stacy will appreciate the comments you left on my picture of him. It's nice that you attack innocent people. I shall do the same and attack somebody on your pictures now.
You think you're going to change the world with --- hahah -- flickr comments!!
HAHAHAHA
You are a waste of time, like all devout christians who go on flickr to troll images they don't like. And you just insulted my friend Stacy, who just had a nice Catholic wedding himself, and did nothing to you.
And, by the way -- If jesus smoked, he would smoke marijuana, not tobacco. God did make marijuana, you know. And Jesus did have a habit of turning sober substances like water into intoxicating substances like wine.

Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL) (64 months ago | reply)
By the way, what's up with Jesus turning water into wine? Wine is alcohol, which is a drug - a drug that destroys brain cells and causes cancer. A drug that has a higher link to cancer than marijuana!
Oh yeah, I forgot. Religious people don't know anything about science.

Check out how TurboReloaded insulted my friend Stacy, who has nothing to do with it:
www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/132338427/in/p hotostream/
Is that the act of a Christian?
And what anti-drug crusaders fail to realize, is that cannabis is one of the most versatile species put on earth. If there is a God, God made cannabis with a purpose: To be used, as the bible TELLS MAN that he MUST use all plants and animals. They were put there to serve man, right? Cannabis can clothe the poor, it can feed the hungry, it can replace alcohol, and it can make non-toxic paint. Even Scientific American magazine talked about the many uses of cannabis - back in the 1930s. Christian and pop-culture knowledge on the subject is much lower than it should be.

Response to deleted comments:
"Any drug attacks brain cells."
FALSE. Ask a doctor. Heroin doesn't kill brain cells, for example. Heroin is a BRAND NAME for a medicine DEVELOPED BY A CORPORATION and APPROVED FOR HUMAN USE to help kill pain. People abused it, and it became criminalized -- sort of like what is happening with oxycontin now. Nevermind the fact that 10s of millions of americans live in chronic pain due to these restrictions.
Just because people abuse something, doesn't mean that hysterical false claims are true.
Wikipedia has WAAAY more credibility than the Holy Bible, which is a joke. The King James translation was a bunch of people who got together and decide how to edit the bible. It's not even the same as it was 2,000 years ago!
"Drugs are seriously related with prostitution, suicide, "
FALSE. 1 in 3 Americans has tried an illicit drug, according to NIDA government studies. 1 in 9 Americans age 18-35 in the mid-atlantic area smoke pot once a week or more. This is data from the NIDA annual phone survey; real numbers are probably higher because most people wont admit to using drugs.
GO THE THE LIBRARY AND LOOK IT UP YOURSELF.
I did.
That would be a LOT of prostitutes.
I'm not actually a pedophile. I think Turbo_Reloaded2 is a sick pedophile for posting naked baby pictures. I've never even seen a naked baby picture on flickr before (I don't look for babies!), and I found it sick that Turbo_Reloaded would post something on his flickr account that pedophiles would like. So I favorited the picture to let him know that I see what he's done, and also to creep him out :D

the picture isn't really all that cool, or original, but the links in the description are interesting.
oh and then there's the schoolyard insults resulting in the thread beneath the picture.
any idiot (or fuckface) can call somebody else an idiot (or fuckface), so simply calling somebody an idiot (or fuckface) doesn't distinguish you from them. if you are going to insult people, do it implicitly, by contrasting against them. never engage in name-calling, even if somebody else starts it. never ever.

Indeed Chriggy, that is an excellent point. I just checked, and out of 6,000 pictures, this is now ranked as #2 in interestingness.
And the best part is, when I'm done wringing out their pathetic comments, I'll copy them to my blog, block them all here, and all their efforts will be for nothing.
But of course the photo will retain it's interestingness rating, and more people will see it.
So, to all you Christians:
Thank you for increasing the visibility of my pictures!
carolyncasl (64 months ago | reply)
Clint doesn't actually think that the baby has down syndrome and he's certainly not into child pornography, and he actually has an open mind regarding religion, however, the point is he has a closed mind about the douchebags who follow that religion and leave scathing comments on a harmless flickr picture. Assholes.
So, yes, say I'm a fat ugly old pig/hipo (wtf's a hipo (sic)?), but the fact remains, Clint & I are much happier in our lives. I am willing to bet we are happier than you all who have nothing better to do but to just slash insults into our souls.

I sent a mail to a flickr user, someone I consider to be a GOOD Christian, who left this comment on another picture.
I asked him what he thought of all this, and this is what he said:
You've been sent a Flickr Mail from yeshuaishi:
:: Re: quite honestly
&, "quite honestly" u were wonderfull to wake up to (i am a
travel psych rn & wrk. nites...),
i am honored that christ would work through me to be yr.
christmas miracle, lol !! he's hilarious that way...& loves
u anyway, no matter what, & so do i, because i love
him...that's the reason i care about what he cares about, &
so therefore r motovated to obey him. obedience must be
sincere to be effective, & love is the principal thing of
sincerity....
although it doesn't matter, i so agree with the bulk of
what u have shared with me, about yrself & mode of
operation, & understand the why 2 yr. approach, the thing
about the way christians r is so very factuall, lol. it's
sad, but nevertheless hypocracy is the reason why, & also
the reason i wanted to know christ for myuself, rather than
what religion has to say about him & his ways. for me, the
messiah is about a relationship, not religion (& lying the
hype; this is why i would never marry anyone on earth,
lol).
it's so sad that someone (like yr.self) who is so reviled
by those who supposed to be so spiritual and all, can see
the truth about religion, especially the cultholic chruch,
lol !!!
"quite honestly", lol, i avoid christians too, lol, &
that's of any denomination !! i myself are
nondenominational, & simply love the bible, (god's word),
my father in heaven, his holy spirit, & as u can see, i am
deeply in love with yeshua messiah......in every way (i
would definitely marry him, lol !!, & actually, his word
says that i am his wife !!!).
he himself has said that we should not complicate the
matter. i follow his ways, because he has made me love him,
guides me to do so. otherwise, i gaurantee u, i'd do as you
do, & probably more so. i admire yr. honestly before me &
god & anyone !! i know the lord prefers u being honest,
rather than tryin' to front goodness where there is none.
because of this, i think u'll go where alot of christians
think they will & wont, lol !! jesus hates hypocracy !!! &
he doesn't need anybody to defend him either !!!
especially with insults to the very people to is looking to
understand his love for & interest in, & know that he will
accept, rather than ostrasize. the photo was meaningfull to
me because it is what happened to the son of god while he
was on earth, & what continues to occur to all who are sons
of god while on earth, whether it's willfull or not, or with
the same devices, this is how it is, & it's a real tragedy.
and for me, yr. attitude is tragic too......but if no one
accepts u, & understands why u have chosen yr. position,
then all the (false) christianity in all of creation is
useless, & my divine lover died for nothing....God forbid
!!!
the grace u think i am came from above, we'd be, & are the
same otherwise. you are just the kind of person god wants
to get to know him, & if i scorn u, how can u ? how can he
tell you how sorry he is for all that has lead you to yr.
current disposition ? how can he tell you he sees & feels
your daily agony & frustration with, & in this world, & is
with u, as u go about just making it through the daily on a
regular basis ? how can he tell you he will overcome your
challenges, the stess, the seeming failures, the short
lived, (& even problematic) successes, not only for you,
but in you & through you, & that, using the very suffering,
lol !! how can he let you know that he will make you
stronger & stronger, & give you vicyory wherever u go ?? &
what a slap in the face to the enemy of our beings this is
? when he will make everything wrong, work out for good, &
all good will overflow to benefit those who love him !!!
i might also add, that you are actually closer to god than
u think. the fact that you so candidly shared yourself with
me without guile, is very humble, and biblical. the bible
says god lives with the humble, but is far from those who
walk in pride. he also says when we share our real selves
with each other, he will change us, if we desire, & that if
i pray for you, he will answer my prayers about anything i
want. i'm going to ask him to continue to reveal himself to
you, and in you. the real god, not what i think he is, or
someone else says he is, or who you think he is, but, who
he really is. that is what i did, while i was exactly like
you, before i came to know him at all, & what little i
do....
you see at some point, i realized that although my wrong
ways were better than any i had seen, life still didn't
completely work for me. i did just as you do, what u
described of yourself is so me, i can't stand it !!! but
after much ridiculousness & rigor, fatigue & apathy began
to set in, & that, after many failures...failures desguised
as success, or the outright diss, lol, & mainly, i had no
prevailing, & lasting peace, lol.
it was all just too much of a meaningless struggle, & for
what ? especailly when i factored in the money issue. it
just wasn't worth it. and so, in as i want what actully
works in this life (& the next, which has already begun,
since we are eternal, good or bad, lol,) i decided to ask
god for myself !!!
needless to say, he has answered me, and is working through
me to be, & do miracles in the lives of others, believers &
unbeleivers alike. i, personally think this is so hipp,
phat and awesome, i'm totally even more off the hook over
him than ever b 4, lol !!
thank you so much for writing to me clint !!! yr. testamony
is my reason for being !!! i'll ck out those links, thnx. &
from now on do not internalize anything said against you
!!! the bible says to do all things in a loving way, so
therefore, even constructive critisism can be all good when
rendered with kindness.
anywhoooooo, quite honestly yrself, you !!! (r deeply loved
by god, lol !!!) i hope u keep in touch, & that i can be a
connection to many more miracles for you, & all those dear
to you, (p.s i also hope that u will also let me be yr
friend.....i keep to myself too, lol...) sincerely,
yeshuaishi
Yeshuaishi, I hope it's okay to share your comment with the world, because I found it more gracious and Godlike than any of the preceding ones, especially AngelaStevensS, KatyKaty, PicsLover, CityAndArts, and TurboReloaded.

I can't believe that all these christians make up accounts just to insult you! No guts to use their own!
What happened to turn the other cheek? Love thy enemy? Not one of them has tried to reason, they have just attacked you and accuse you of what they do to you! In Salem, they would try you, convict you and sentence you! Oh wait, they just did that. Christianity hasn't changed much. I guess thats why I am an atheist!
I don't do drugs, but I don't judge anyone who does them, It's their life.
But as a great man once said:

Hey zealots....If you don't like it, don't look at it. I don't think Jesus would approve of spewing hatred. Why don't you funnel your energies into some *real* missionary work. Or is that too hard compared to sitting at home in front of your computers? I really dislike hypocrites -- of any faith.
sweetest_brittany (64 months ago | reply)
AND, by the way, as a Christian who knows Clint PERSONALLY, I do not agree with the comment that he has something against the Christian faith. More likely, he has something against ignorant hypocrites who try to force their beliefs on others. Attacks are wasted -- you will never change the world with that type of terrorism. Haven't any of you people ever taken an English class where you have to learn the elements of writing a persuasive argument??? You change the world with reasonable ideas, and empathy -- not with insults and mudslinging.
Sooticas Dream (64 months ago | reply)
I don't find this insulting. Those that commented negatively are OVER sensitive.
He is posing a question!!! Not a fact!!! Duh!!!!
Marijuana has been used to help relieve pain (I believe there are currently studies in trying to isolate the pain relief gene without the "nasty" stuff)
Why do so may people make knee jerk reactions without actually THINKING!!!
I like the question you pose in this.
He came to earth to help relieve pain & suffering, & if marijuana helps with that, then wouldn't he be handing it out???
Ignore the others. I'm sure they are the minority, but sadly the loudest!!
deane_crilley (64 months ago | reply)
Kepp up the good work Clint. I got a big laugh out of these comments.
Especially the person that posted under 4 or 5 different names but kept using the same spelling and grammar errors in all of their posts. Painfully transparent stuff.
I'm new to the group but am getting a kick out of it. Thanks!
And please keep telling any offended christians to follow the example of jebus. They should rise above it all, they should turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor, judge not - lest they be judged and forgive & forget.
If they won't do that tell them that Jebus gives them an F in Chirstianity and that they can farking die in an eternal hellfire for being deceptive and judgmental losers who believe that a telepathic magic sky fairy is up there putting voices in their head and granting the wishes that appeal to him.
Too bad that god miraculously cures cancer and all types of diseases but hates the prayers of amputees that want their limbs to grow back.
Anyway I guess that's a whole different subject that the christian folks can tap-dance around. They'll probably say I know nothing about christianity and ignore the fact that I spent my entire pre-adult life in a christian school, seminary and bible study.
The church and I mutually decided to part ways once I started asking difficult questions about the morality of genocides in the old testament and pointing out the disconnect that jebus died to redeem man from original sin, but since Adam & Eve never existed and sex is necessary for human procreation original sin cannot exist.
Thanks for the great work and keep fighting the craziness of the mindless religious sheep that keep posting in here.

1. Clin'ts IQ is more like 160, not 60. He was accepted to a high school for exceptionally smart kids. Don't pretend to know someone you don't.
2. Seriously, this Christian/Bhuddist/Atheist person is obviously one in the same. This is SO schizo!!! And learn some grammar!
3. While I am of the believe that each and every adult is given to swearing, I definitely think it is less than wise to use certain words when making an argument in the defense of Christianity. Afterall, WWJD?
Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL) (64 months ago | reply)
While the vitriol the pathetic Christians hurl is quite funny --
I think I am going to go and block (and thus remove comments) anyone who doesn't have any pictures or contacts in their account. They seem to all be the same person, someone who is afraid to put his own face behind his words.
(P.S. Actually, my IQ usually tests 150, not 160.)
deane_crilley (64 months ago | reply)
Wow.... seriously... wow!
It must be hard to keep all the doctrines straight when you are a Bhuddist/Sikh/Muslim/Zoroastrian/Christian/Ba há'í-ist/Atheist/Shlameel/Shlamazel/Hasenfeff er Incorporated.
Interesting expression there:"...vomit in hate and hate and hate"??? I've never heard that one before. How does one vomit in hate? Can someone also vomit in joy? vomit in terror? vomit in ambivelence? I didn't know people could vomit in a particular purpose or emotion.
Perhaps this person might be having more difficulty with the English language? Perhaps this is a babelfish translation of an idiomatic expression from some other language???
And your defense that you are not posting under different accounts is: "I don't think that are the same people, the personalities and language plus the points of views and critics are different"
You don't "think that are the same people"??? Hey Vanna, could I buy a subject for that sentence?
"the language plus the points of view and critics are different"???
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Your spelling and grammar mistakes are the same all the way through these posts. If your beliefs and viewpoint are so great, why do you have to lie about everything? Do you like to buy things from a salesman that's insulting your intelligence by telling you obvious lies?
No worries, this person is just another example of how silly, crazy and irrational people get when someone makes a critical or satirical comment about their religion and it hurts their feelings.
If people could just separate their religious ideas from their own identities people wouldn't get so crazy when debating religion.
You don't see people getting personally offended or acting crazy when someone make fun of their opinions on taxes, trade deficits, interest rates, military spending, national healthcare or any other idea that is important and that people argue about. But if you make a comment or a joke about a religious idea then you are an evil persecuting bigot???
Faith is the great conversation stopper. When someone starts defending their FAITH, rational thinking goes out the window because a belief can only be right or wrong, it can't be changed or improved.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again great posts Clint and Brittany. Keep the conversation, dialog and ideas flowing.

Why are people so upset about a fictional character smoking a harmless drug? I'm confused.
Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL) (64 months ago | reply)
Who opposes legalizing Marijuana and why
cover There are many types of people who oppose legalizing Marijuana for a variety of reasons. Many of these groups have some very strange reasons and selfish interests. Many are just ignorant of the facts. Here's some of the opposition:
* The Uninformed - People who believe the misinformation that Pot is harmful to society.
* The Government - Pot has been illegal for so long that no politicians have the political courage to tell the truth about Pot. The ones that do tell the truth are defeated by their opponents that paint them as a druggie. Many of these anti-drug politicians are funded by the Alcohol lobby.
* Religion - Anything fun is sin and of the Devil. Churches might lose members as people figure out that God can't be that stupid.
cover
* Moralizers - The morally superior who enjoy looking down their noses at the less fortunate and get a sadistic thrill in putting people in jail.
* People who do no Drugs - These people who don't drink, don't smoke, in some cases don't even drink coffee. They just don't understand why anyone would want to smoke anything or do any drug. From their perspective the world would be better off if no one did anything.
* The Alcohol Lobby - Legalizing Pot would seriously cut into the sales of Beer. Pot would become the recreational drug of choice because it is safer than Beer.
* The Tobacco Lobby - Pot has the ability in some people to help them break the addiction of nicotine. Pot smoking could actually reduce the number of tobacco addicts.
People before Lawyers
* Law Enforcement - There are a lot of people who make a living fighting Pot who would have to go get a real job if Pot were legalized. Police departments get a lot of funding to fight Marijuana and those funds could be returned to the taxpayer if Pot were made legal. Cops would have to chase robbers, rapists, and murderers.
* Government Agencies - Using unconstitutional civil forfeiture laws the government has been able to use the presence of Pot to steal billions of dollars of private property from the People. Drug laws have been an excuse to circumvent our constitutional right and justify wire tap laws, the erosion of protection from illegal searches, key recovery encryption, and domestic spying. If you take a politically unpopular position like this one I'm taking now, the government can plant drugs on you and put you away.
* Pot Dealers - If Pot were legalized then people making money off of selling Pot illegally would be out of business. Pot prices would drop to $10 a bale. Crime relating to illegal Pot money would vanish.

* Wood Industry - Hemp would become the primary source of fiber for paper products as well as a new source for building materials. We wouldn't have to cut down every big tree in the world.
* Private Prisons - If Pot were legalized the private prison industry would be hurt. They would no longer jail Pot smokers. It could free up space for violent criminals.
* Trial Lawyers - Normal people caught with a joint spend billions each year on lawyers to get them off of criminal charges after getting caught with a joint. Lawyers get rich off of the Marijuana laws. If Marijuana were legal this money could be spent sending your kids to college.
* Mental Hospitals - There's a big industry treating people for problems they don't have. If you have insurance, you're crazy until the insurance coverage runs out. If you smoke Pot then you have mental problems. If Pot were legal some of these people would have to get real jobs. We should start treating people who are addicted to 12 step programs.
* Republicans - Pot helps you see reality the way it really is. It's harder to con a Pot smoker on political issues. Once you get stoned it's harder to want to hate Liberals, Queers, Blacks, Pregnant Teens, Draft Dodgers, President Clinton, Feminists, Lesbians, Pot Smokers, and other people the Republicans want you to hate. When you're stoned it's harder to like Newt Gingrich, John Ashcroft, the KKK, the Christian Coalition, Jerry Falwell, Pat Buchanan, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, People who beat Gay's to Death, People who blow up Abortion Clinics, and the morally superior in general.
cover
* Political Cowards - Politicians like to pose with police as somebody who is "against drugs" promising to lock up all the pot smokers and throw away the key. These people need an artificial issue to be against so they don't have to face real issues like how to protect the public from crooked lawyers and crooked judges. Political cowards cross all party lines when it comes to pot and includes President Clinton.
* Others - These groups could also be hurt by legalizing Pot. Car body shops would get less alcohol related wrecks to fix. Hospitals would get less alcohol related business as would alcohol treatment centers and funeral homes. It could hurt cemeteries and tombstone makers as well... but then again, everybody's going to die at some point.
