You are right, there are a zillion ways to reach peace or God or

whatever you want to call it. And we could wish that the ways to get

there would look in a ceratain way (more loving, more beautiful, more

wonderful and soft), and in the end it is reality that will tell us

how it will look. For some it is having a baby. For some it is

meditation. For some it is drugs or smoking. Love doesn´t limit the

number of ways we could reach peace/God/happiness. Only our thinking

does that.

" I can't imagine a loving God providing us with anything less than a

zillion ways to reach him. "

Well, isn´t that exactly what God/reality does? Some of the zillion

ways seems to be smoking or drugs or rape or war or depressions or

child molestings or torture.

And I agree with you, smoking is just one of them. And when I stop

argue with reality, that is what is, until it isn´t.

Love,
