That is what Amish are saying about Smoke detectors. They claim it would be against their religious beliefs to have smoke detectors in their homes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18108197

A reporter talked to Mose Miller at his doorstep with his nine children looking on. It was cold: -15C (5F). Most of the kids were in bare feet. Their clothes were roughly sewed together - like Victorian patchwork puppets.

Mose Miller said "I use this,” he said pointing at his nose, “or him,” and his finger pointed upwards. “I don’t need a devil on the wall to tell me if my house is burning.”

When he was ask what would happen if a fire happened during the night and he didn't wake up and he and his children burned to death he replied "If God does not wake us, well, that must be part of his plan."

In other words, if something happens to my kids because of my own negligence, it must be part of God’s will. JW say the same thing with not allowing blood transfusions. Christian Scientists have the same thoughts and don't take their children to hospitals because god will fix what he wants fixed and it is all god's will.

Smoke alarms aren't the devil entering your home. Smoke alarms aren't horrible...Letting your family die in a fire that you could have escaped if you had a smoke alarm is.

Do smoke alarms violate Amish religious freedom? How far can people take shit like this? I mean really people don't want to do something they yell it is against their religion. Try yelling that taxes are against your religion. How far do you think you would get with that one? How many innocent children have to die in fires that they could have escaped if they had a smoke alarm?

Do not watch to see what others are doing. Let them watch you and follow you. You first. One light in the world goes on, and then another. Pretty soon the sky is splattered with stars.

Take a stand for LGBTQ rights.

Most of you know that we have a wonderful cat named Blaze that we rescued almost 2 years ago when he was a baby.

Well, you know the things you need when you have a cat and one of those things is kitty litter. There are so many different types of litter out there for people to try. We tried a few but you would either have the litter smell or the cat smell. That was until we found Kitty's Crumble. That stuff is amazing. There is no litter smell and no cat urine or feces smell either and it is natural.

Kitty's Crumble is a 100% organic and the first litter box material to replicate the natural environment a cat would choose outdoors. The natural, slightly moist loose structure, with a subtle earth-like aroma, provides a cat with an environment suited to their instinctual traits.

It is made 100% from coir (coconut husk), an organic / natural, renewable resource. Kitty's Crumble kitty litter contains no chemicals, pesticides, silica dust, fragrances or other additives that could be unhealthy for your cat or unfriendly to the environment.

It is tremendous absorbent with amazing, unbeatable odor elimination. It can absorb and retain up to 4 times its own weight in liquids.

Kitty’s Crumble has a modest carbon footprint (pawprint) - it includes no chopping straight down trees, no mining the earth, and no crop manufacturing, which are all important greenhouse gas contributors

The packaging is recyclable and filled to the very top (no wasted space). It is lightweight. When you’re done with Kitty’s Crumble and the solid wastes have been removed, use it right away as a fertilizer or add to compost.
