All religious practices of today owe everything they have to shamanistic practices developed thousands of years ago through the use of psychoactive drugs.
Communion with God, for instance, (bread and wine), comes from the practice of getting fricked up on moldy bread and water turned red (today thought of as wine) by soaking a muscarine mushroom in it. The result is "communion" with God. In the literal sense of the word.
Just something to keep in mind maybe.

Jesus's first "miracle". Water into wine = dropping a poisonous mushroom into the water. Water turns red, people get fricked up on it.

Religion is the natural extension of our desire to understand the world around us and give our lives meaning.

Correct, like science, religion is simply a philosophical construct that seeks to understand why we are here.
Neither construct can ever answer the question satisfactorily. Which is why this debate rages on. Intelligent design, happenstance
I am trying to find middle ground. Science and religion should work together, rather than against one another.
Both have their merits.

They do. Legitimate science is the unveiling of the laws God has constructed, and put in place, for the governing of creation.
Of course this is my belief, and can't be proven, at least not in this lifetime.
I'm not limited to believing in what can only be observed, but think there are possibilities outside the realm of science that are every bit as real as what can be observed.

Absolutely there are. In my world the question of "is there a higher power" isn't even up for debate. It's as apparent as apparent can get. Especially when you consider we have ways of talking with said higher power whenever we like. Lol. We have even manufactured drugs (like LSD) that cheat the process of needing the discipline to do so naturally.
Fun fact: the guy who discovered the double helix nature of a DNA strand did so while on drugs.
The more you know.

Thank you BoarEd for livening up the OTB, on a cold Saturday!

My pleasure, man. 
These are just the things that go through my mind from time to time.

Agreed.

I see a lot of merit in science but not religion.

Ooookay.

That's the beauty of our universe. While we live on the same planet, our worlds are entirely different. As I said, "in my world" the question of a higher power is answered.
In yours it isn't.
And so it goes.

Not a fan of religion and churches unless the church is super liberal.

Right on.

Yea, like Methodists.

Which is what I am. Don't really care or go though.

I thought it was super addictive, like that's what's so dangerous about it.

Pretty sure 1st century Jews knew what wine tasted like. They drank it every day.

The bread was ergot bread, and the wine was actually soma. It got switched around at some point, but yes, the early Christians were consuming psychoactive drugs that allowed them to "commune" with the divine. There is no doubt that this is true. This is also true of literally ALL early religious practices.
What's most interesting to me is the fact that these different fungi are responsible for damn near everything we have in this world today.
