We bring religion and spirituality into this and every discussion.   Why?  Because every human's beliefs about the nature of reality (including one's religious beliefs, such as are you inside of or outside of Creator/God) are the fundamental context in which all of our life's activities fit.   Everything every human does, without exception, in every aspect of his or her life is controlled and influenced by his/her fundamental beliefs.   

Because religion attempts to give us answers to unanswerable questions, (See the next section below.)   We, as religion-followers, close our minds and believe we (and the others of our same faith) know the grand/universal truth about life's greatest mystery.   Many people also believe that their belief is the only correct belief -- that all other approached to Creator/God are wrong.  

Because those of us who understand and intentionally use The Rules of Reality are much more likely to succeed in business, have loving personal relationships, live in a healthy body, and achieve financial freedom.   

The belief systems of those we help contributed to their medical problem.   Inviting them to look at that aspect of their lives is just one more way we can participate in making the world a better place for everyone, including the trillions of non-human life forms with which we share this planet.  

You might also note that in addition to providing funding and access to medical marijuana for those in need, we have several additional intentions that will grow out of accomplishing our initial intention.   A broader view of our full mission is detailed on our home page.

Let's get real for a moment about the most basic, fundamental, human beliefs-- our beliefs about  who and/or what we are,   where we came from,   why we are here on Earth,  and  what happens to us when our body dies?  We have hints, best guesses, and much evidence pointing in particular direction, but as for specific, exact provable answers, there are none.   

The most fundamental question of all time is about the unknown and unknowable mystery we call "Creator/God."   Does the Universe have a conscious and intentional creator or is everything an accident?   If it has an intentional source, what's the nature of that source, and what is our relationship to that source?   All of the above uncertainties are commonly lumped into one question:  "Do you believe in God?"    

We can hear countless hours of countless men and women telling countless stories and countless so-called-facts about "God" to anybody who will listen.   Rarely, if ever will you here anybody define what they mean by the word "God."  This lack of clarity creates a huge problem.  

Any time anybody mentions the word "God," the listener immediately applies his or her own personal definition of God to the conversation.   Because those definitions vary widely, each definition of God dictated its own beliefs and those beliefs dictate the persons attitude and behavior patterns.  

Before we can answer the question, Do you believe in God?, or have even a remotely, coherent discussion of the topic, we need to define what we mean when we say "God."  Here are the two main, commonly accepted, completely-at-odds-with-each-other perspectives on Creator/God:

Are you talking about a fickle, angry, jealous, easily-displeased, wrathful,  vindictive, vengeful, super-human being sitting on a throne somewhere overhead in the sky?   Are you talking about a god who  (for reasons that completely escape human understanding and with what seems like arbitrary unpredictability)  heaps great good fortune onto some, horrendous misery onto others, and pretty much ignores everyone else?  

Are you talking about a god who can, at his whim and will, step outside the laws of the universe and do anything he chooses,  including instantaneous, supernatural, transcendental acts of magic.   Are you talking about a god who can grant special favors to those who bribe him with prayers and adoration, or simply destroy someone's life in a momentary fit of anger? 

Are you talking about a god with an ego so great that  he demands our worship and a self-image so small that he demands our obedience -- a god so weak that he needs our help to punish the unfaithful -- a god so weird  that he murdered his own son as an expression of love   -- a god so angry, hypocritical, and unforgiving that he preaches forgiveness and, at the same time, is still punishing people today because a long- dead ancestor (Eve) ate "fruit" from a forbidden tree --  a god so ridiculous that each year he flushes millions of his newly-created humans down the world's toilets, and he abandons and condemns to never-never land literally billions of humans for several, mindless reasons, one of which is that the human being never got sprinkled with or immersed in water by the correct holly man?  

Are you talking about a needy, self-centered, brooding god who offers free will and then demands obedience to a set confusing and self-conflicting rules that are impossible to comply with?   Are you talking about a masculine god who created women as sex slaves and servants --  a god so small he can fit inside of a single religion or into a single sacred text -- a god who demands that we murder people  simply because they believe in a different religion?   Are you talking about The Great God Money,   the most revered and feared deity on the planet today?  

If that's your definition of God, then the answer is no.   I don't believe anything which fits the above description could possibly be God.   I'd sooner believe that the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny were living in my attic and having an affair with Miss America.
