LOL, I guess you assume all those who eat at a buffet do so to excess? All so you don't need to justify your smoking by pointing out other health issues. I know people who smoke right after church and drive to that same buffet, your point is what>?

What's the point of a buffet if you aren't going to gorge yourself? Just order a regular meal. I don't think he is justifying smoking, just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy. How about just don't judge anyone for what they eat, drink or smoke. It is not your concern.

that is your understanding not everyone does that LOL. There is no hypocrisy but more self-righteousness. The post in my response to a brother's question about our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit I provided wherein the word of God that is said.


I never said smoking was a sin, nor did I say it will send you to hell. So why the great defensive attitude about hypocrisy when there is none? it, not your concern either, stop trying to create false narratives.

We finally agree on something. We can go even further and say that breathing the air is bad for us because of all the pollution and crap they spray in our skies. Even eating processed food, like potato chips or boxed anything, with all the chemicals and preservatives, is bad for us. And all the GMO modified foods. The list is seriously endless.

There a big difference between polluted air and the food we eat than cigarettes seariously now come on. Ok so the air might be polluted foods might be modified but its not thick smoke from cigarettes 20 times a day to all your body plus clogging up the sences.

Well, the air we breath was tongue in cheek, but smoking cigarettes and eating crap are definitely one in the same. Do you know what junk food does to your body?

Does smoking a cigarette make you feel sick or give you a headache? When you want one it might help if you imagine you had one and imagine how it makes you feel. That's a good deterrent.

Smoking does not affect the senses. Smokers can perform tasks, remember, think, feel and decide just as well as anyone else. .

And if someone was to prove to you smoking does effect the sences would you believe it was a sin then ?

Why would it be? We are not to judge anyone regarding what they eat, drink or smoke, or what days they "observe". It is not for us to judge, so why would you?

the confirmation is in the response. Those with addiction defend their addictions. If some say smoking is harmful as we have scientific proof, those who smoke will say the food is just as bad. One who justifies bad behavior by talking about other bad behavior.

Gangs in Oakland are murderers, oh but did you see those Talbans who murder too?

Says who? I don't smoke. The chemicals and preservatives in "food" can give you cancer, just like cigarettes can. It's a fact. It's really not your concern what others do.

I know what I wrote and your accusation is wrong. People aren't defending smoking because they themselves are guilty of "bad behavior" in another area. Who died and made you god? Oh, and have a nice day.

Everyone knows smoking will likely cause seriously health issues. If your loved-ones don't already know this, well... yea, you might want to inform them.

Smoking is just as bad for your body as going straight to the all-you-can eat buffet after Church after telling people not to smoke... anything that goes against the health for your own body is sinful in nature.

I used to enjoy a good smoke AFTER a visit to the buffet at Golden Corral. Actually, enjoyed a smoke too after church. Enjoyed the well-known buffet at Circus Circus on the strip in Las Vegas too. Enjoyed a smoke also while hitting a slot. Wheels started spinning and lights flashing. Don't smoke anymore. Never was really much of a gambler. Do enjoy eating though. While eating at the buffet I was showing off to my wife by biting into a Habanero pepper. Entire mouth and throat was on fire. Wife had a good laugh though. Well worth the cost of admission. It was a calculated risk.
