'Cause the Bible Told Me So

Authors

Martin Gardner

Abstract

To The Editor: For years I have been entertained by letters calling attention to what the Bible has to say about homosexuality, masturbation, wine drinking, and kindred topics. Are these letter writers aware, I wonder, that the Old Testament condones smoking?

Consult Genesis 24:64. We are told that "Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel."
