Re: Man, is nothing sacred? CC should like this one!
I saw that article a few days ago. Ma Anand Sheela and friends use to
spike people's tea with ecstasy at Osho's Oregon commune in order to
make them happy so they would donate more money. Conmen of all sorts
would use this chemical as well if given a chance.
We are chemistry in action, not soul in action. My personal preference
would be soul, but that is not what the facts present. One reason I am
convinced the scientific evidence holds more truth than the religious
arguments is that it is not what I really want to believe. I liked the
mystical fantasies as much as anyone, but the facts ripped them out of
my brain. My belief in the occult collapsed like a poorly made roof
covered in too much snow.
