Every once in a while, someone comes along and thinks you need saving. Perhaps its your shabby look, that smell of booze leaking out of your pores from last nights bender – and some do-gooder decides what you need is more religion. I’ve found that there are plenty of Bible verses that are suitable for drunks like us. Here’s one that they never quote you:
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. Proverbs 31:06-07
Never forget that Religion Is The Opium Of The Masses. Unless you’re in Thailand or Afghanistan, in which case Opium is the Religion of the Masses. Karl Marx said that, and look what happened to him!
Salut!
R.B.
You, Sir, are misappropriating words from The Good Book to justify your misanthopic habits. You will be struck down by a bolt from the heavens that will send you burning into the fiery pits of hell for eternity!
Serves you right!!!
Rev B.B.
if strong drink means whisky, then i’m just about ready to perish, especially if it’s free and courtesy of the church!
in the days when i was a bum, i used to go to a place called The Trinity Centre where they used to confiscate cheap moonshine from the alcoholics and throw it in the trash cans in the back alley so us bums could fish the grubby bottles out and neck that foul liquid down. Micky’s guts rotted clean away, and Little Billy The Midget went blind. those were the days!
