If we have a right to life liberty & the pursuit of happieness then why are some things like growing hemp illegal?

If 1/2 of what is claimed about hemp true them it is nearly a miracle plant.

The way a lot of the lumber I see is made it is an assembly of many small pieces of wood glued together.
Glue lams OSB ( orientated strand board [a plywood like building material] ) Plywood ,even studs are more & more many short pieces glued together.

These could be made better stronger quicker and cheaper IF we where permitted to grow hemp to replace the wood.

Hemp could ruin the outside marijuania crop because the hemp grown for paper, cloth, building material etcetera would be the male plant because it grows taller quick & flowers sooner therefore with the release of male pollen ruining the female plant used for marijuania because after it gets pollenated will devote its energy to making seeds.

What does the religious/spiritual community think of this?

Where is my argument /logic faulty

I had my mom write out a prayer that she says everyday to me before I leave the house. I want to get it tattooed on me. The thing is, she isn't that great at the grammer or spelling. I was wondering if someone can see if the pray is written correctly.

This morning I saw one of my late partner's relatives. She crossed the street and began lecturing me on my "disgusting lesbian lifestyle".
I was away when Gwenneth died and the family buried her with a headstone bearing "UNKNOWN TO GOD", When I first saw this I nearly used a lethal blow on one of them. Months later I had a severe break down, Now they are starting again. How do I stop this behaviour?

If you get an answer you don't agree with do you send abusive emails? I should have thought if you did not want another opinion you ought not ask.

We've always been taught that a noun is a person, place, or thing. But God is really more like Movement than a thing. Wouldn't our language be better if we considered Him by what he does, rather than as static, like an idol?

Yeah. So, Anyway. Why do Christians act like their religion is the only right one and that everyone who does not follow Jesus or has chosen their own path should die and suffer? Also, Why do most governmental politicians figure that everyone in the country is Christian?

I have no religion, And I am proud of it.

Could this be argued as being purely a metaphore for being above or below a certain standard of conduct of behaviour as dictated by the church?

I am looking for areas where Muslims and Christians will agree as far as things that are sinful and need to be removed from society in general. It is pretty clear that American society has become very godless, inhumane, corrupt, etc. What is most important? What is most urgent? How can we work together?

Why can't the non-believers just say ...Ok God I don't believe and go on to other things. There are plenty of other things to do on the net if you don't believe in God. Instead of downing everyone who does believe.

And all of their religious leaders preach you must have faith in their God. I have no problem with that I think it is good to have faith in God. But when leaders use that faith in their God as a way to kill people and project them into a higher postion of power. Do you think this is the work of the devil?

When traveling around the country, I have found people, mainly from the north east, treat me as if I am unintelligent because of my Texas accent. I consider the Texas accent to be much less "southern" sounding than the true deep south accent, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. Some actually have laughed at me when I said y'all. I have a master's degree, and the last person that laughed at me was a gas station attendent. Does that seem right to Y'ALL?
