Water is a gift from God, but you can kill yourself easily by drinking too much of it. Does that mean we should take the risk of making a stupid use of water? Heck no.
You cannot easily kill yourself with water. That is a stupid statement. People drink beer after beer and seem to get along alright. The current weekend requirement is at least a 30-pack, for each drinker. That's a lot of extra water. If you don't believe it, go to a ballgame and wait to pee...
Alcohol is a gift/tool, and has been used as a purifier of food, blood thinner and for other good things. People don't have to overuse it to the extent of being a stuoid use or take it to a criminal use level, that is stupidity.
Alcohol is a natural occurence when yeast mixes with sugar. At some point, a man drank some grape juice that had fermented naturally, and decided it was good. We now distill it and call it brandy. I have an almost-empty glass of B&B sitting beside my humidor. I have a lit Ashton cigar in the ashtray near me.
People can certainly act stupid. The Bible tells many stories about them. When Noan's ark landed after the rains, Noah celebrated and got so drunk he stripped naked and was dancing. His daughters backed up to him with a cloak, and covered his nakedness.
Facts are facts, they did not store food during Biblical times, so alcohol was a way food was purified. We know today that eating raw pork gives you worms in your body, well the Bible didn't say you'd get worms, but said beware of pork and stay away.
I eat rare pork. I am not afraid of trichynosis. It is not a problem with modern pig farms. Sanitation has always been a problem. You sure seem to seek a lot of ways to promote alcohol in a positive manner, while demonizing its use. You should learn more about the misinformation you repeat. Drinking alcohol has not been used for sterilization and sanitation. It was used for drinking. It makes you intoxicated.
Facts are indeed facts, and you have displayed few pertinent to this discussion. Why do you think anybody is listening to your drivel? I only replied to antagonize your simple mind.
You talk about not eating pork to please God. You need to read your New Testament a little more. Then, you might visit these guys. I keep some in my freezer.
No need to respond. I am going to bed. I have to go see my 83 yr old Dad tomorrow. He knows what I smoke, and hasn't seemed to care enough to say stop. He is a navy Vet, as I.
Good night, maam! go play with your sisters!
