Entry: Absinthe and the Apocalyse Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/absinthe_and_the_apocalypse#6940 Post contents: Well that logical fallacy isn't even up to sophomoric level. "The Roman Empire was instrumental in creating martyrs, therefore it was ordained by God" is equivalent to saying "Satan was instrumental in the crucifixion, therefore Satan was ordained by God as the Prince of This World." Being permitted by God to do something isn't the same things as being ordained, and in the long run all of God's creatures are His instruments even when they do evil. But as Zmirak has said, it's not up to us to force God's hand. Better to force a beer into our own hands while we can, and enjoy the scenery while it's still here. Sent at: 2008 11 20
