Seems you've had enough or a wee bit too much

if you start having visions like a chariot in the sky driven by flaming angels with four faces and six wings

Then We know what effects Ezekiel was under at the time...

If the police report says you told them you were driving such a chariot when they pulled you over,
then I suspect you are mixing something with your alcohol that Ezekiel didn't have access to...

Sitting here sipping some whisky, and have reached that magical point where you are just plain content.

Fleeting Happiness is just a momentary lapse of reality, best enjoy it while it lasts. ..

It occurred to me that one of the greatest things in God's intelligent design is the ability of certain substances
to cause us to get blitzed when consumed.

Galatians 5:


16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.
They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this
will not inherit the kingdom of God.




What was God thinking when He did that?

Seems God gave man every means to trip himself up...knowning that man is going to try most of them at some point.

If you are going to transgress at least do it with the help of best whisky you can afford.

I like whiskey also, Jack Daniels is my favorite

It may very well be that the impetus for civilization itself may be the desire of human beings to make and consume alcohol. That's a theory that's been put forward in the past 40 years, and I think it's true. The practice certainly pre-dates us as a species. It's been documented among apes.

For industrial alcohol production, most likely beer, you need grain and a stable organized group. You're not going to be able to do this ad-hoc in a cave and get anywhere with it. We see evidence developing in the Fertile Crescent. Right about the time you see grain being grown. You see beer production.

It makes a lot of sense. Intoxication is just a byproduct of the deal. The real goal here is pain reduction. When you're life expectancy is down around 25, living to the ripe old age of 40 must have been a grueling process.


When I started venturing to my wife's home county down on the KY/TN border, my wife's kin were absolutely amazed by my behavior. Before dinner every night, I'd pull out a flask and pour myself a Scotch. My MIL was the first to bring up the point. Down there, you either were a drunkard and a sinner, or you had repented alcohol entirely and joined the church. I was something wholly different. It took a few years before she realized that I was perfectly capable of giving myself a dose of Scotch every day without becoming a dipsomanic. I find that it quiets the mind, relaxes the joints and aids in digestion. I sleep more soundly and wake more refreshed.
