War & bars

“If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.”
-- I Corinthians 15: 19

Several people believe the Bible should never be read because it’s responsible for the majority of the most devastating wars ever fought. The majority of where these folks tend to hang out is in bars. Some of which’ve even been behind bars. Alcoholism is 50% about being physically pre-disposed through your DNA, to addictiveness to a very distinct chemical substance. The other 50% is about abusing the chemical to which one is quite literally allergic. It’s 100% about the problems that started one drinking in the 1st place + the ones accumulated along the way. In bars where the bartender is more teddy bear then drill sergeant, the conversations can reveal why so many of them are there, guzzling down something to which they are allergic: allergic to death.

“I refuse to ever crack open the Bible again; it’s responsible for most of the worst wars ever fought!”

Bars in the Bible-belt are incompetent at staying away from religion & politics. They usually have some very sensitive Christians in them; drinking away the guilt they have over not being up to the challenge of God’s desire to perfect them. Any mystic worth his/her salt would gently tell them they don’t have to do it on their own. Bars are notorious for only having mystics not worth their salt. When they’re drunk they’re called patrons. When they’re sober they’re called the staff.

“Don’t blame the book for the reader’s actions.”

Personal responsibility is a sore spot with citizens trying to escape something. It’s the seesaw effect created by these two that causes more fights than pride.

“They’re being brainwashed into thinking all that horrible stuff in there is the word & will of some ‘Almighty God’.”

Every human that ever lived (including Jesus) has been a victim. Victims (with the exception of Jesus) have a love/ hate relationship with the “attack this & defend that” strategies of the fallen creatures of a never to fall Creator.

“If I started a war in your name that you were actually against, would it be your war and your fault?”

Bartenders usually intervene at these points. So always remember to tip your bartender, buy bonds & get your kids on centering prayer TODAY! :)
