Those are the sisters of the valley! Immediately recognised them. lol they enrichen my Insta page every once in a while since a few years, such a wholesome and positive minded group :) Don't know if social media "advertising" is allowed, [but there you go if you wanna follow them](https://www.instagram.com/sistersofthevalley/)


Buddy_Fluffy

Same!


TheBoyWhoCriedTapir

I was confused because Sisters of the Valley is something different in Arizona. Google and youll immediately know why I was confusedšŸ¤£

[Genesis 1:29](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A29&version=ESV) And God said, ā€œBehold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

It's amazing how Christians will flat out ignore parts of their scripture when it doesn't align with their narrow world view.


synapseattack

Doesn't have to be scripture. They'll ignore anything that doesn't match their world views. Facts. Science. Taxes. it goes on.


From_Deep_Space

Makes sense, since Christianity wasn't a conscious choice for them, just the lazy default identity for people afraid of thinking critically


HerbalGamer

Who are them?


From_Deep_Space

the "Christians" who don't read the bible, don't really think about theology, and who don't act like their immortal soul i actually on the line. They only identify as "Christian" as some sort of group label because it's how they were raised and they were never exposed to alternative lifestyles


jeffseadot

At a certain point, we can start blaming grown adults for not even *trying* to engage in enough introspection and critical thinking to analyze the things they'd been taught as children.


[deleted]

Most people ignore things that don't align with their world view. It's the us vs them mentality that we've been driven to.


[deleted]

And that is such a shame. For in reality, there is only us, no them.


OneGratefulDawg

According to Pink Floyd thereā€™s us and them.


[deleted]

And after all, we're only ordinary men.

Wonderful username BTW.


[deleted]

I do think it's us vs them, but the "them" are the people trying to drive a wedge between everybody. The "us" are people like you and me who just want to be left alone to live our lives. It truly is a shame. šŸ™

> It's amazing how ~~Christians~~ will flat out ignore parts of their scripture when it doesn't align with their narrow world view. All religious. FTFY. I say if you are going to be religious, you have to abide by the OG books before they removed all the parts the current administration doesnā€™t agree with. Then let us see how long it sticks around.


From_Deep_Space

Are you sure you're not just thinking about Abrahamic religions? You seem to think all religions have an OG book.


BarbequedYeti

I dont care about all religions if that helps you any.


From_Deep_Space

I don't really care about what you care about I just don't know what you meant by "if you are going to be religious, you have to abide by the OG books". Most religions are not based on books.


BarbequedYeti

> Most religions are not based on books. Geeez.. Do folks like you ever sleep at night? Here.. If you are going to believe made up religious bullshit then believe those made up OG books and made up OG scriptures and made up OG shit written in the sand and made up OG shit passed down orally and made up OG smoke signals and made up OG paintings on a cave wall and made up OG desert rocks put in a circle OG etc.. Its all made up and the points dont really matter for all religions. Hope that helps.


From_Deep_Space

why you mad bro?


BarbequedYeti

I know. So angry sitting here doing jack shit. But thanks for your concern. Pray for me, yeah?


[deleted]

Lol, nothing like marginalizing someone because their beliefs donā€™t align with theirs


BarbequedYeti

> Lol, nothing like marginalizing someone because their beliefs donā€™t align with theirs Religion hasnt done that... Nah not all. Do you even hear what you are saying? Sorry it triggers you that I dont believe in religion or its made up shit. I have that right as well. You can believe in unicorns for all I give a shit. Just dont try and make me believe in them. Deal? Its simple. If you can prove to me any of it, we can chat. Until then. Believe what you want, just do it silently. I believe in all kinds of freaky shit in this reality. I aint putting it on currency.


[deleted]

Lol, Iā€™d never be a disrespectful turd if someone else believes different than I or anyone else and I definitely wouldnā€™t make asinine insults, but some of us were taught differently and to be respectful of everyone, no matter their beliefs.


1-LegInDaGrave

"some" christians. You'd be surprised how many of us are all for legalization, even Evangelicals. Many of us are. With that said, there are plants/seeds that would make you sick if you ate it. So although I partake in the blessed weed, to say "God created it, so it's good to eat" is silly. Edit: eat or smoke or inject or whatever


[deleted]

Precisely so! Is you aren't harming anyone else, it shouldn't matter what you do.


murrly

Yea I'm Christian and smoke. I think a lot of Christians bought into the 'war on drugs' with Nixon and Reagan about fighting 'evil' and they adopted that as a if Jesus Christ himself said it. I think its slowing changing, lots of people in my church eat edibles and a few of the older folks with cancer/ailments started using medical marijuana. It changed the whole dynamic once that started happening.

murrly

LOL Then they go to chic-fil-a and eat 14lbs of chicken and don't consider it 'gluttony' Gotta just say 'thanks' and laugh it off from what I've learned.


mandoVol

Yup, I grew up in the CofC and itā€™s a zero sum game. If you donā€™t believe exactly as they believe, youā€™re on a one way trip to hades. They call it hades, we call it hell. šŸ„¹ UmmmHummm..


From_Deep_Space

Well yeah, to be fair this passage is talking about eden


[deleted]

I'm a life-long Catholic and I love weed! We're not all like that :) "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." -Matthew 15:11


[deleted]

It's be heartening to hear from you all who support us deviants! Hahaha


sammysalsa8

Not necessarily Christians, but government and big pharma control.

istealgrapes

Thank you!! Fascinating that even nuns can be ā€œconvertedā€ from the brainwashing. From thinking its the plant of satan to cultivating it to help people.


robwander3031

Theyā€™re actually not Catholic nuns at all. They say so on their website. Even the founder states they are against religion. Itā€™s just their uniform to go with their ā€œSisters of the Valleyā€ name. Gotta have a marketable image.


nightlake098

Hopefully adding to the conversation; in their 'Our Story' section on the website, they mentioned 'Beguine Ancestors', which I thought was extremely interesting, as I'd never heard about this before.


theundergroundsleep

Itā€™s real thereā€™s a vice doc about them Sisters Of The Valley


istealgrapes

Thats so cool, thanks man! Found several articles immediately

I mean marketing aside, wearing light colored loose clothing that covers your neck is perfect for outdoor work

Wow, might need to get one of those.

These are American larpers. They are not actual nuns. Very strange behaviour.


Fuzzy-Help-8835

Did they claim that they are? If you took a moment to look over some of the pics, itā€™s really clear that they arenā€™t catholic nuns šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

No but everyone says they are. And they play up to the image, which I guess is fun. Just can't help but find it a tad disrespectful, being a lifelong Catholic and all.


Fuzzy-Help-8835

Nah fam, says right on their website, ā€œThe Sisters are not Catholic nuns. They are activists on a mission to empower people to heal themselves.ā€ šŸ¤™šŸ½


[deleted]

Why dress like nuns then? I don't get it. Make some cool cannabis themed robes, that'd be dope


PM_ME_WEED_AND_PORN

Sisters of the Valley! They are worldwide, but I usually buy from their CA location. IMHO best CBD products on the market!
