I don’t know why she bothers.

  1. Running out of beer is a crime against humanity! JESUS you may have to drink Fosters or similar…we are talking armageddon here peeps….

  2. I worked with a team who bought lottery tickets as a group. Several would pray that god would subvert the laws of probability and hand them the win. I pointed out that if it worked it would be unfair to the other hopefuls who accepted the laws of chance. Anyway Jezuz didn’t deliver a miracle and they never won. This never shook their belief or their attempts to distort the gamble. It never undermined their enthusiasm for the magic of prayer. I assume that if they had won they’d be lighting candles of thanks to their deity. Or butchering a fatted calf—or maybe me for being wrong about God’s love.

  6. Thanks, Author, for another wonderfully satirical strip. (From an enthusiastic drinker of beer, whisky, wine, coffee, tee, etc!)

    Thank God for people like Author!

  7. Why does Jesus not just turn water into wine? Or would it just instantly turn into his blood?

  8. I thought Jesus changed water into wine. Any UK law prohibiting him from changing water into good beer? Deeds, not words; thats better than praying.

  14. Not being a beer drinker myself, a pub wit no beer wouldn’t bother me at all. A bar with no Bell’s on the other hand, is an abomination in the eyes of the lord. Sadly, I’ve sat at a few of them.

  16. I too like a nice single malt…I also like smooth Irish whiskey. I have a two litre bottle of Jamesons black label. I will open it and sample it when my grandson is 18…I have 15 years to wait…

  17. M27: Jameson’s is a very nice Irish malt whiskey, but Bell’s is a blend (ie malt whisky plus grain whisky), not a single malt. BTW Bushmills is another fine whiskey, from Northern Ireland, the distillery is near the Giant’s Causeway.
    DH: If you can’t find Bell’s, you may be able to get The Famous Grouse instead (IMNVHO, the Grouse is s superior blend to the Bell’s!).

  19. Hume said to reject the greater miracle. These two dips couldn’t reject anything which even remotely resembled a miracle to them if their lives depended on it!

  22. Time for a little Housman, from “A Shropshire Lad”:

    And malt does more than Milton can
    To justify God’s ways to man.
    Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
    For fellows whom it hurts to think:
    Look into the pewter pot
    To see the world as the world’s not.

  23. “If anyone thinks that I amn’t divine
    He’ll get no free drinks when I’m making the wine
    But have to drink water and wish it were plain
    That I make when the wine becomes water again.”

    James Joyce, Ulysses
