First, this is a church. That means
that we are primarily concerned with how we should live, individually and collectively, so that we might become better people,
partners, parents and citizens. We seek, in many different ways, for values worth living by - or to put it in theological
language, for beliefs worth serving with our lives. Cantheism, also Kantheism, is a modern term for religions based on the inherent goodness of the Cannabis plant. Adherents are known as Cantheists. Cantheism neither endorses nor discriminates against any other church, faith, or system of belief. The
only religion known to worship the Cannabis genus of plants. People often mistake Rastafarianism for being the worship of
Marijuana however it is just a Christian sect. Cantheism however is the worship of the plant itself and has no other idols/gods.
Cantheist:
Somebody who worships the Cannabis plant religiously. When registering at a THC-ministry one gets an unlimited Marijuana
license because the first Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees Religious freedom. Cantheism may be the oldest of all religious practices, Cannabis being one of
the very first cultivated plants known to mankind. The roots of Cantheism can be traced to the origins of African, East Indian,
Sythian and Semetic Religion. Cannabis is also known to be one of the earliest plants used for industral and medical purposes,
as archeological evidance shows, appearing in Chinese, East Indian, Sythian, Egyptian and African cultures. Free Life Ministry Church of Canthe would like to be one of those churches that is looked back upon as a trend setter of our time. Just as the early churches that where persecuted for not following the tenets of Rome. We are being persecuted today for believing that God created Cannabis to be used by man as a Holy Sacrament as described throughout the Holy Bible. We have yet to win our religious rights in a clear victory thus far to practice our religion like the Christian sects that use Alcohol (even to providing it to children), or the Native American Church that uses Peyote, or the O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal and the Sainto Daime churches that use Ayahuasca.
Free Life Ministry Church of Canthe is a church
of like minded individuals who believe:
That Cannabis is a Holy Sacrament from times of antiquity, church members use Cannabis to commune with God. This unifier of religious thought allows us to draw upon the broad scope of human religious experience in the determination of the form our religious practice takes. We draw upon many religious texts, including the Holy Bible, and many others to establish and verify our religious practices. Churches have common elements in differing attributes, such as but not limited to; religious text, religious practices, religious symbols and religious rituals. If you choose to be a member of our church you are very welcome to do so. Our God is no respecter of persons nor are we. We strongly and aggressively protect our members right to grow and use Gods' Holy Healing plants of all varieties as described in the Bible. We also protect their right to not use as they choose.
Cantheology: Philosophical Roots
Cantheist Symbology
The graphic symbol for Cantheism is modeled after the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for hemp rope, which was transformed into the letter "h". Illustration: Detail from an Egyptian stella (1780-1306 BC), Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze (Italy) Room III, case 14, Item 7611
The hand symbol for Cantheism is right hand cupped around the left, with two fingers extended in the inner hand, symbolizing the male and the female plants. The overall hand gesture signifying the female calyx which holds the trichome glands.
Astronomy: The three stars of Orion's belt represent the three aspects of cannabis: Commerce, medicine, and spirit. Sirius, the brightest star in the nearby constellation Canis Major (Big Dog) symbolizes cannabis in the Northern winter sky.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. AMENDMENT XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
The Government cannot prohibit a religious exercise
that does not hurt anyone!
Religious use of Cannabis is our right, protected by law the world over. Article
18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
The Free Life Ministry Church of Canthe exists to serve sincere, spiritual Cantheist from all around the world, and to help you claim your religious rights under existing law.
