We're Crazy In The United States!

Proverbs 20:1, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

And This Number Is Just From DRUNK DRIVING!

Our country is so half-ass backwards in the United States. When I gratefully attended Hyles-Anderson College (1985-1993) to train to be a preacher, I remember seeing the First Baptist Church of Hammond packed full from one end to the other each year, and the mezzanines and balcony jam packed with Pastor's School delegates each year. It's hard to wrap my brain around the disturbing fact that 2 ½ times that number of people are killed each and every year in the United States alone because of DRUNK DRIVERS!

But that's not all, each year just in the United States approximately 178,000 Americans are killed from BOOZE, LIQUID DEVIL!!! Goodnight in the morning!!! 178,000? That's 35 PACKED FULL auditoriums at PASTOR'S SCHOOL!!! Psalms 36:1, “The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.”

And yet, a 17 and 19 year old teenager yesterday just shot up a Muslim mosque in San Diego, killing just 3 people, and over a hundred cops show up with guns-a-blazing, HE-MAN style, ready to shoot anything that moves. We're crazy in this country! Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1982) was exactly right: "We're in insanity because we're in sin!"

“Insanity because we're in sin!” —Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1982), “Steps In The Degeneration Of Our Nation.”

The hypocritical American mainstream news media will be talking about this shooting for months to come. Heavily armed S.W.A.T. teams in Dan Diego broke into the assailant's homes, ransacking through the family's possessions searching for evidence. Angry neighbours were interviewed and recorded by the media saying that something needs to be done to stop these needless deaths! Everybody is freaking out! They say, “STOP THE KILLINGS!!!”

And yet, in our absurd insanity and utter hypocrisy, Americans wickedly stand back idly watching HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of victims die each year because of ALCOHOL. Alcohol use (BOOZE) causes approximately 178,000 deaths each and every year in the U.S. as of 2020–2021, a 29% increase from 2016–2017. Alcohol-related deaths have been rising over the past decade, with significant increases during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are largely an irresponsible society, which greedy ambulance-chasing lawyers feed off like a school of hungry piranhas going into a bloody frenzy. I really detest lawyers!

It ceases to amaze me how penny-wise and dollar-stupid our politicians and lawmakers are in this country. While our federal government goes to great lengths to prevent children from choking on hotdogs, drowning in 5-gallon buckets and other trivial causes of death, after a century of tens of millions of needless deaths caused by the monstrosity of BOOZE, we still haven't learned our lesson in society.

The old wise adage still holds true: You can't take two drinks of beer if you don't take the first.
