Couldn't you pick some vices I would enjoy if we are going to justify them?

Re: Can A Person Be A Smoker & Still Be Saved

Not one time have I attacked those caught in the trap of nicotine. I have only railed against those who revel in the addiction, while defending the permissability of such mad suicidal behavior.Anyway, I'm outa here. This is a moronic thread.

Actually, PP, I find a lot of what you say to be very self-righteous, along with Brother Epley. He and I have been posting to each other long enough now that he knows I love and respect him, in spite of how much I don't like the frequency with which he's so quick to pronounce judgment on others.

I hope you think it reeks every time I stand up to you. My goal is to be as big a stench as possible, so people can see how bad their attitudes smell. My hope is that someday I won't have to read posts written from the "I have arrived and you haven't" mindset. There are things we can all learn from each other. It is important to note that I have used the same approach with liberals. It's not a lib or con thing with me, because I've seen the same attitude from both sides and have stood against it with them too. I am sure there is plenty you and I agree on, so don't be disheartened. I don't hate you, and I don't think you're going to Hell, regardless of whether you think I'm hellbound or not.

As someone else used to say, Buh-bye.


I wish he'd stick around some more. It's still early in the day. I ain't got no one else to argue with, except for on the political threads.

Maybe we could combine a hair thread and tobacco thread, and call it the "uncut tobacco doctrine".

No! I couldn't post on it then. I am on a hair thread fast and loving every minute of it!

How about we smoke a pork flavored tobacco stick, while getting our hair cut, as we watch TV and wear shorts.

Wouldn't that be a cigar? Just roll the whole leaf.
