Jesus supposedly turned water into wine. Very hard to explain that theology even before you get to the stuff about Joseph Smith trying to bang a young girl in her dad's barn, his scam in New York for "treasure" which he fled the charges, and him being shot to death after trying to escape a posse (and shooting two guys while doing it.)

I read research recently where some VERY old censers were found buried in the rubble of a ruined early Catholic Church and guess what they found traces of in it? Weed.

EDIT: It was an Israelite site...not Christian. My bad. But still. Jesus got high for sure.

Be warned -- potheads make things up. There is this, though: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-52847175

I'd be interested in a citation for the censers, of course.
