Comments on: Alabama has wineries, but you’ll never know about it. http://kensalter.com/2008/04/09/alabama-has-wineries-but-youll-never-know-about-it/ Mistook their nods for an approval Just ignore the smoke and smile Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:44:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Ken Salter http://kensalter.com/2008/04/09/alabama-has-wineries-but-youll-never-know-about-it/#comment-166 Ken Salter Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:28:01 +0000 http://kensalter.com/2008/04/09/alabama-has-wineries-but-youll-never-know-about-it/#comment-166 Hi Ken: Unfortunately for the rest of us, those people won't get their day in a secular court. Justice in the afterlife is debatable (I'm not holding my breath on that one), so the only justice that is assured is any that we get while alive. As an agnostic/atheist, it is issues like these that almost make me want to believe there is a just god waiting to punish these evil doers - the ones that spread lies and destruction in the name of religion, and that this just god would know that my doubts as to its existence were sincere, not as an excuse to live whatever lifestyle I want. But then I realize that is an emotional appeal, and that trap has gotten me before and is what lures a lot of people to the more fundamentalist versions of religion. Hi Ken:

In my personal opinion a great number of folks are extracting what they want from the Bible, the Word of God, and mixing it with their own agenda. Sort of like adding arsenic into a glass of cold water, and it's going to come back and bit them; big time, sooner or later. Always have wondered about Alabama, and now I know a little more. Yes I enjoy a good glass of red wine once in a while. Can't find anyplace in the Bible where it says a person cannot drink wine. In fact there are a great number of words in there that talk just the opposite. Your right Ken; folks in places they shouldn't be probably got their using a combination of plagiarized phrases from the Bible salted with subtle intimidating phrases and such. I believe they will have their day in court, and maybe they will have to wait until God is sitting in that chair.
