Can you cite the passage that has inspired your misgiving on this point?
 

Thats just it. There is no scripture that even remotely suggests this silly smoke signal business be conducted. But hey - if this traditional dogma makes anyone feel holy - then go for it.

That's a bizarre response.

What is your position on kayaking? Or stamp collecting?

Since the Bible mentions neither of those activities, presumably they're forbidden as well?

Clearly you do not know what the word "dogma" means.

Putting that aside, signalling a "yes" or a "non" using colored smoke doesn't make anyone feel holy. It makes them feel informed.

Would a “tweet” make you feel better?

How would you feel hundreds of years from now to when communicate the election results traditional “tweets” were used instead of some new technology?

You’re complaining about silly things. Smoke is the traditional method. Big deal. Get over it.
