I agree with you that drinking and smoking is not a profile for a Christian nor a person that profess to know and love God.
Therefore anyone doing this should stop it.......stop it.....

Yes, you would be a hypocrite if you did not practice what you preach.
Bottomline is, that we are all sinners. Nonbelievers do not like the word 'sin', but this merely means anything that is done apart from the love of God. If you are drinking and smoking to praise God, then the more power to you. But, always remember that your body is your temple. Sinning against the body is one of the few sins that a person can control. God gives us free will.....

I experience being atheist. Regarding my notion in an afterlife: i am undecided on whether or not I feel there is any form of afterlife. I'm torn between the fact that I wish to and decide on to feel that there is a form of afterlife and that there may just very good now not be one. I seek advice from myself as a spiritual atheist and don't have any totally ruled out the probability of afterlife. After I inform anyone i'm atheist, the first thing they inquire from me is "good, what do you feel occurs whilst you die then? Nothing?" I hate perpetually answering "I do not know" but i don't. No one does, really. So I tell them that there is not any approach of realizing what happens after we die and that i'm no longer sure what I believe. I feel reincarnation is a possiblity or that possibly anything occurs or that probably nothing occurs. There's easily no manner of figuring out and i am at peace with that on account that both approach, i know i'm attempting my best to guide a just right lifestyles.

I don't smoke, and I never drank until after I was 21. I am completely monogamous with my husband, and I am a law-abiding citizen. I am Pagan, however, so perhaps my morality has to do with that... So, I don't brag about loving God.

Yes, it is no use in paying lip service.
The acceptance of the Messenger of God and the observance of His laws are inseparable; you cannot claim to be a believer by ignoring any one of this twin duties.

I think that they sell them at the 7- 11, but I don't know how late they are open where you live, so you might call first. Sure hope that helps.

Jesus drank wine didn't he? I don't think drinking and smoking are sins...that's ridiculous.
