I doubt that there are people out there that didn't smoke, then accepted Jesus and then for some reason started to smoke

Only if they are altar boys and enjoy a fag after sex.
Damn. Freudian slip. In GB, by the way, a "fag" is a cigarette. I had an American friend visit me once in Inverness and his eyes just dropped out when another friend, a very large friend, asked him in the pub while awaiting word of the birth of his first son, "You've a fag, mate? I need something to suck on or I'll go crazy waiting."
Just for the record, I have known at least two people who started smoking long after they had been Bible-thumping fundie Christians for years, as well as many people who were fundie Christians and smoked (without my knowing when they had started), so that profoundly trounces any claim that Christianity somehow prevents smoking.

Not that anecdotal evidence matters, but in my life I've found that it is my Atheist friends who don't smoke or are trying to quit. I suppose in lieu of an afterlife, you have to make the most of this one.
Sandman: When I was in the UK I got used to fags. I just couldn't get used to calling a bathroom a "toilet." I suppose fags in the toilet are a real problem for some Americans.
Well, what´s the correlation?, worse for their lungs, in any case. Or do you asume that there was another prescription for something that didn´t exist?

"Of course, many of us still have to watch out for second-hand Christianity."
Nice one.
I know of plenty examples that contridict this absurd statement, myself being one of them. But the question remains, What The Fuck?
Guess WordForUs forgot about alter boys smoking cock in the rectory.
Hi, I'm an atheist, and I'm never going to smoke.
Same here, and I don't drink either. Though to be honest I must admit a tendency toward gluttony that probably isn't all that healthy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
