Christian conservatives take on tobacco

Well, I'm shocked! They're against drinking and sex, so why should smoking escape their wrath? I suspect that their next target may be the backyard barbecue - well known for it's resemblance to ancient rites involving burnt offerings ...

While Christian conservatives are known for several causes—opposition to abortion, opposition to gay marriage, and opposition to the teaching of evolution as fact—another cause is now gaining support among people of faith: opposition to smoking.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
