Have you ever obtained pot from someone wearing a Christian band shirt?

I'm curious how common this is.

Yes. Granted it was a Christian metalcore band shirt, but still.

I, as an atheist, once scored some weed for a friend's dad - the dad was a minister for the church of love or some such thing. They believed in Jesus but man they smoked a shitload of weed.


And personally, I don't believe in christian metal. I mean, I don't doubt there are people in metal bands that are christians - most (all?) of Slayer are Catholic - but I look at "christian metal" bands as all marketing. I don't feel they are sincere about the music - just about getting their message out. I don't begrudge them that right but I ain't gonna listen to them. And I don;t care for metal-core anyway - christian or secular.


But if I still smoked I'd sure take weed from one.

A lot of bible thumpers hate weed, but just because you're into Christianity doesn't mean you hate weed.

Seriously. And to one newly-ordained, like-minded priest, he sent a card congratulating him on his ordination -- with a roach taped inside.
