Mind-altering sacraments have been employed for millennia by participants [Players] of belief systems [Games] to accentuate the ecstatic experience, to realize the claims of their doctrines [Game Rules]. Drink enough of the sacramental wine, you'll see Jeezus. Southwestern US Indians dosed- up with datura [Jimson Weed] to successfuly invoke an Alternate Reality. Soma [probably Fly Agaric mushrooms], peyote, many other hallucinogens, have been prescribed by Game Masters since before recorded history. If the Xians mentioned in the news story were serious, they'd use heroin. Besides religious Games, many political & economic & artistic & athletic Games also use drugs to entice recruits. Such promised treats are much more enticing than threats of murder for gaining adherants, but may not be as effective as implants, mind-control rays and lifelong programming. Videogames show great promise, with their ability to alter human brain chemistry, generating endorphins and energy flows that reward particular behaviors and thought-patterns. Look closely at the political/religious elements within Nintendo and Sony Playstation software, eh? > ( When will the cowards doing archeological and theological research > come out of the closet and let them know what they really worship?)

Use tequila, you won't have to piss quite so often. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.
