And
by the way, God hates beer too! Did you know that alcohol is such a
serious matter to God that He sends people to Hell for it? Please read
Galatians 5:19-21. I can hear someone saying, "But if God hates beer,
then why did he create it?" God didn't, sinful men make beer.
But if you want to argue the point, then consider that God also created
Poison Ivy. Should we rub Poison Ivy all over ourselves because
God made it? This is the flawed mentality of substance abusers today.
People say, "If God didn't want us to smoke, then why did He create
tobacco?" Well, God created snapping turtles and skunks too, but I
wouldn't recommend getting too close to either.
The truth is that mankind has always sought
that which is forbidden, because of his inherent sin-nature that rages in
disobedience and wrath against a Holy God (Ephesians 2:1-3). Go
anywhere in the world today where there is sin and you'll find booze.
Go into any strip-joint and you'll find beer. Go into any gambling
casino and you'll find beer. Alcohol today is a multi-billion dollar
industry in America alone. Beer is a woeful evil. Booze has
brought a curse upon America. Most
people today laugh at the notion that beer is sinful; yet the same people
see no problem with prostitution, fornication, pornography, gambling,
abortion, dancing, rock-n-roll, witchcraft, homosexuality, and most other
sins.
There is a sinful attitude that is prevalent amongst beer drinkers. It's just a fact that nearly all beer drinkers have a lenient attitude towards sin. Beer and loose women are inseparable. Where there is beer, you'll find sin. Beer drinkers are often fornicators, and have a spiteful attitude towards the Bible. Beer drinkers are selfish, willing to risk killing others by their own foolish drinking. Argue if you will, but the facts CAN'T be denied...
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) position on the relationship between blood alcohol concentration and driving is that driving performance degrades after just one drink."

So
if that be true, then why are drivers allowed to drive at all after having a
few beers? It's because we are a nation that loves sin, and looks for
excuses to justify our sins. We are hypocrites! This is why
murderous abortion is legal, even though our politicians brag that we are a
nation that values life. LIARS! Well, it's NOT legal in
God's eyes--abortion is cold-blooded murder! Prostitution may be legal
in Nevada; but it's vile wickedness in the eyes of God Almighty! Who
do we think we are as Americans, to redefine the Word of God to allow for
sin, and then claim that we trust God? We are living a big lie in
America today!
We are warned by God in Galatians 5:19-21, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Alcohol is a serious matter with God--so serious in fact that God will send a drunkard to Hell. How many lies does a person have to tell to be considered a "liar"? Just one, right? Likewise, to get drunk even once is a horrible sin. Americans have become so calloused towards sin that I often hear people bragging about getting plastered drunk. It's not acceptable in God's eyes--it is wicked sin!
I hate alcohol because it destroys lives. Yet, people foolishly live in denial. Some of the most famous celebrities that have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol include: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Ray Liotta, Tim Allen, Vivica A. Fox, Glen Campbell, Walter Jacobson, Tony LaRussa, Warren Moon, Mel Gibson, Jessica Smith, Tracy Morgan, Yancy Butler, and thousands more.
Can you imagine a wicked nation who brutally murderers tens-of-millions of it's own children? Such wickedness is unthinkable! We're talking about America! Should it be surprising that we would also torture poor Terri Schiavo to death? Not at all. We have become a culture of death. Do we care that millions of people are dying, being injured, and abused because of alcohol. Nope! We could care less until it happens to us... When it's Too Late. We have lost our soul as a nation, we have been demonically desensitized by the Hellivision. We are past feelings anymore...
