I recently was sent to an article supposedly posted by a 'Pastor' of a very fundamentalist church. I will not post a link to the article nor will I give much info about it. The person doing the 'directing' was incensed by the content. I read the content as well and my only thought was, "This has to be a joke."

Turns out (yes, I investigated), this so-called church is merely a satirical creation. People can be easily misled and angered when given misinformation. Don't believe everything you read. (Hmmm, maybe Wikipedia is lying and I'm being misled.)

I'm trying my darndest to not make any comments on "churches" and "people being easily misled when given misinformation"... I won't do it... I won't do it... I won't do it... I won't do it... I won't do it...

But could you please try at least for the sake of cynicism?

No, I'll just post a photo of some great spiritual leaders instead.

My point was to NEVER accept any anti-vaping remarks (statements) at face value. There was once a 'doctor' who was quoted as saying that us folks who were vaping were inhaling vapor heated to over 1000 degrees (I can only assume he meant Fahrenheit...Kanthal at 1000°?). I held out my chest and said to myself, "Yeah, take that Superman." I usually post tongue-in-cheek to amuse the reader. It's my science writing style (I always give repudiation/backup links unless it is just a personal preference).

The point is, check, verify, and then verify over and over again. The Kraken is dead, so I've been told. I will still continue to verify/disprove sea monster allegations. Don't be hatin'.

I'm sorry:facepalm:. My light bulb doesn't always burn so bright. Thanks for clearing that up. I went back to your original post and reread it and now my bulb aint as dim. Your point is very valid and very important especially with all the negative agendas about vaping out there. Hope I didn't offend you in any way.:blush: I tend to let my dorkiness run wild too often.
