If you have a beer, you don't go around door to door trying to give it to someone else.
1. *smirk* That's depends on whether you can profit from it. Beer solicitation is very common for businesses to practice, whether it is business-to-business or directly to the consumer. Another point to this is you don't have to go door-to-door when you can be invited or "crash" the sanctuary/beer party.
You can prove that you have a beer.
2. By what, sight? Taste? Touch? What about air? You can't see it or touch it, yet you "know" it's there. Taste, feeling, and smell are all results of particle matter from other sources such as sand, dust, man made materials, and water
It is against the law to offer beer to little children who are not old enough to think for themselves.
3. Alcohol consumption age is relative according to law. Many religions are taught the same way. Depending on where you live it can be from non-existent law (zero) to 25 years old. Most American children start drinking at age 11. Beer is the easiest to come by.
Nobody has ever been hanged, tortured, or burned at the stake over his particular brand of beer.
4. If you're looking for a martyr, pay attention. From creation, to prohibition in the early 1900's, to today, people have given their lives for beer. Humanity has stolen, murdered, committed adultery and gluttony, lied, lusted, coveted, you name it, done pretty much everything as a result of it. People have been burned at the stake, tortured, and hanged over what type of beer they've stolen/preferred or sold. Do you think the shopkeeper would have shot that guy if he had stolen a 6-pack of Coors instead of the German import? It's about greed.
If you have a beer, you don't have to wait over 2000 years for another one.
5. Depends on whether that beer killed you from alcohol poisoning or an auto accident. Who said all religions were based on 2000 years?
There are many laws that make them print the truth on beer labels.
6. Does the beer necessarily have a label? Is it homemade? Is it tap? Even if it is printed there, it's only a half-truth. The Surgeon General or Government doesn't make you print the same thing on every can or bottle. A half-truth is the same as a lie in most religions.
No one will kill you for not drinking beer.
7. According to many religions' laws, killing in any form, whether in anger or to benefit the practice is prohibited. How can those who kill in the name of a religion which holds this belief be trusted as a true model of that practice? Do I need to mention drunk driving? How many people have died that weren't drinking? Millions.
Beer does not tell you when or how to have sex.
8. Some religions are all about sex. Some are free-love, some are restrictive. If the focus is Christianity, Catholicism is just a part of a massive religion which has many other denominations that believe in unrestricted (with the exception of marriage) sex.
There have been virtually no major wars fought over beer.
9. Beer has been to "virtually" every war that has existed. And it has been the cause of the loss of many battles. How many "minor" wars has beer started? Once again...millions.
If you have devoted your entire life to beer, there are groups you can join to help you stop!
10. In almost every mid to major city exists what is called a Deprogramming Center. These places specialize in removing religious or cultic teachings from individuals. Many of these centers hold regular group meetings. Why would you want to stop drinking beer? Is it wrong? I taste a contradiction.
Why can't we just have religion and beer? All most religions are asking is moderation. Even the Bible never says it's wrong to drink, just to get drunk. Better stay away from Islam...
