115. Sorry, but that's far too simplistic.
My mother was one of the most devout Christians I have ever known. She had the utmost faith that God would heal her of her lung cancer, but, alas, she died - and fast. Oh, and she never once touched a cigarette in her entire life, nor was she ever exposed to any second-hand. God loves his children, yeah.

All I heard from my dad and the other church folk was, "God delights in the death of his saints." All I could think was, "Well then, what a selfish fucking bastard." That may sound harsh, but I was an already an atheist, so I knew that it was just one of those "shit happens" type of things and didn't try out some silly religious rationalization, which is just that - silly. At least she lived until I was 22. It could've been worse. That's the way I look at it.

Anyway. You should start a website. Instead of godhatesfags.com, it will be godhatessmokers.com.
