Silly, it's not about drinking it, it's about getting something for free!

To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years and to take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser.

The main doctrine of a fanatic's creed is that his enemies are enemies of God.

We've all been conditioned to think of love as the heart-pounding,
breathless passion of the young -- not the complex feelings shared by two
time-ravaged people who spend afternoons holding hands, as a defense against
loneliness, disease and death.

With all due respect, if God is in control, then wasn't He in control when President Obama was elected? He wasn't in charge of that?
He surely was/is - as He was when Zedekiah was king over Jerusalem too:
For I have set My face against this city for harm and not for good," declares the LORD "It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire."' - Jeremiah 21:10
and..
Many nations will pass by this city; and they will say to one another, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?'
"Then they will answer, 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.'" - Jeremiah 22:8f
...cuz we're bowing down now, and have been bowing down for far too long to the god of [human] government (in my extreme humble opinion...).
