Quick, where do I join!? Or try this one: smoking is an addiction, and therefore I am covered by ADA, so I can smoke wherever I please. Got it.

I am spiritual with my tobacco daily. I think declaring my commitment to this religion would work well for me and piss off the Marxist in my work. I worship the Cigars, (not the ones Hillary’s husband likes but the ones that smoke for about an hour while sipping a beer…..and sometimes a scotch..
Count me in!

Ogre, I shall join you. We shall wait and see what happens. If we’re arrested- we can claim discrimination against our religion, and it should stand up in the legal eye.

I am joining this religion and will then stand in the local public school and demand that I be allowed to smoke. And my children, too.

You see, Kender has this wierd sense of humor that is triggered by oddball behavior in others. That is one reason I never give him any reason to trigger his sence of humor.

*snicker*

There’s my good buddy Kender! I love how much you enjoy lighting a match and tossing it into a pile of firecrackers

But, really, I can’t blame this guy for starting the “church” – too much nanny-statism would drive any sane person around the bend. Unfortunately, America is following close behind Europe and signing our freedoms away… *sigh*

In my religion all persons over the age of 14 are required to go armed at all times, so that they can defend our God and our faith. Yet it requires that your weapon be held in secret, much as the Christians think you should not boast about your piety.

We call our God ChCW. We thank ChCW (Pronounced “Chick-WA”) for the shall issue laws in 40 states.

We hold that our faithful should practice with their weapon weekly, at services at their local gun range.

We are wondering at this point if our ammunition should be tax-deductable?

[...] Kender MacGowan: Smokers paradise promised by the “One and Universal Smokers Church of God in the Netherlands…A smoking ban that went into effect in bars on July 1st has prompted one man, Michiel Eijsbouts to start a new religion dedicated to “the trinity of smoke, fire and ash.” Stating that they “honour their god by smoking,” the new church claims protections under the Dutch Constitution and European Union Charter. Several bars have already joined.” [...]
