    Can you be a Pagan without Psychedelics?

    Can you be a pagan without psychedelics? Sure you can. There's nothing in 'the pagan handbook' that says psychedelics are a part of paganism. 'Pagan' is such a wide term anyway. This is not to say that psychedelics don't have a role in some traditions, though. Can you narrow down your focus and...

    Psychedelics and God

    Yes, but I think you are seeing psychedelics from a western perspective. ie as something to get 'high' on. That's not been the role of psychedelics in pre- / non-western cultures.

    What is the best argument against psychedelics?

    Not necessarily. Many cultures use entheogens which provide an insight for the person taking them. Many shamanic cultures use psychedelics (salvia, peyote, ayahuasca etc) as part of their regular rituals. We shouldn't see psychedelics as recreational drugs, which is often how they are viewed in...

    Is it best to find a religion and stick to it or swap around?

    Many religions tend to be very prescriptive and you may not necessarily agree with all of what they (or their books) say. Where does that leave you if you can't make it work for you? You could always just forge your own path and live by the rules and precepts that you hold dear. If a...

    You're in heaven....now what?

    I can see your point, but the OP seems to relate more to the Judeo-Christian version of heaven than to any other version. The idea of basking eternally in god's love and doing not much else is a common theme in that tradition (plus the OP mentioned jesus specifically). It was that view of...
